With several parts of the country still reeling from the effects of recent flooding from above normal rainfall, the government yesterday announced flood management and mitigation measures that include construction of a new drainage system for flood-prone South Georgetown.
“Planning will commence soon on a massive project to relieve South Georgetown from flooding with the construction of a new drainage system and other infrastructure to facilitate this, while at the same time other areas of the city will also benefit from significant investment to mitigate against flooding and enhanced infrastructure,” President Irfaan Ali yesterday told the nation during an address to mark his government’s first year in office.
“We believe strongly that future generations in Guyana and that of the world depend on sustainable development,” he added.
