The Guyana Water Inc (GWI) yesterday rejected claims by the opposition in an article appearing in the March 19 edition of Stabroek News titled “Non-functioning wells in Region Nine villages causing hardship.”
The article stated that in light of the extreme dry weather conditions, the water supply in the hinterland regions, is facing challenges due to depletion of surface water sources such as springs, creeks and streams as well as hand-dug wells constructed by villages.
However, GWI responded that its wells are not being depleted since these are deeper and are drilled as part of its climate resilient infrastructure programme.
