After being swamped for several weeks, floodwaters in certain parts of the West Coast Berbice are finally receding.
Stabroek News had reported last week that there was deep flooding in parts of Region Five. When this newspaper had visited the communities of Trafalgar, Lovely Lass, Union, Number 30 Village and Number 29 Village, several yards were flooded with water, in some parts exceeding two feet of water. Acres of land were covered with water as far as the eye could see while houses stood isolated. It was difficult to tell where the trench was from land. Makeshift bridges were so deeply submerged in the murky water that they were hard to spot.
