GWI logs 100 wells along coast as part of groundwater management plan

The Guyana Water Inc (GWI) has completed the geo-physical logging of 100 wells along Guyana’s coast, the first phase for formulating a groundwater management plan.

A GWI release yesterday noted that more than 90 percent of the water supply on the coast and 70 percent countrywide comes from groundwater sources.

The release informed that the data gathered during the exercise, including on the various strata of soil, sand and rock between the earth’s surface and the aquifer system, has already been analysed and inputted into a database, and will facilitate the construction of a physical model of the aquifer system.
