Sixty percent of the residents of Quarrie, a village in Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo), are now benefitting from a new water supply system. The community, which previously relied on a hand-dug well that struggled to provide sufficient water during the prolonged drought, now has improved access to clean and reliable water.
The new well was commissioned by Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal, who highlighted the importance of climate change awareness and urged residents to safeguard the system and avoid water wastage. Croal further emphasized the increasing need for wells due to the drying up of hand-dug wells.
