Approximately $1.5 billion is being invested in Region Three in the areas of drainage and irrigation.This is according to Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud, who noted that Drainage and Irrigation (D&I) works would be done in La Jalousie, Den Amstel and Vergenoegen, along with other communities on the West Coast of Demerara.During the commissioning of a drainage pump in Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara, Minister Persaud said that there would be the monthly maintenance of the Canal No. 1 & 2 Main Drains, which would cost some $750,000 each.There is also the ongoing raising of the Boerasirie Conservancy Embankment, which stretches from Leonora to Vergenoegen, at a cost of $21 million,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, while there is the rehabilitation of the Line ‘A’ Canal,Evan Engram Youth Jersey, for which some $24.3M will be expended.It was also noted that there will be the rehabilitation of 112 miles of canals and drains under the Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) at a cost of $35M, along with the construction of a drainage sluice at De Willem ($154M), while there will be the construction of irrigation canal and structures at Parika, requiring $20 million.There will also be the rehabilitation of the Parika/Naamryck relief sluice gate, which  $5.5M will be pumped into.Contracts were also given out for the construction of sluice doors at Hague and Windsor Forest at a cost of $5.3M, along with the construction of a drainage structure at Wakenaam, an estimated expenditure of $20M and the construction of another drainage structure at Leguan ($35M)Meanwhile, at the commissioning of the Stanleytown Pump Station, it was noted that the facility would bring much relief to farmers in the area, since the community is flood-prone. Minister Persaud noted that his Ministry has spent a lot of money and resources to put malfunctioning equipment back into working order,Conor Sheary Penguins Jersey, since sluices and irrigation facilities were shut down in the 1980s.“We may not be able to eliminate flooding, even at the end of this massive rehabilitation programme that we have embarked upon…Canals Number One and Two Polders will still be vulnerable…. but what we are doing,Enes Kanter Thunder Jersey, is increasing our capacity to drain and provide better irrigation thus reducing the vulnerability of farming communities such as yours from flooding as we are seeking to do in all farming areas.”It was noted that as part of the Ministry of Agriculture’s policy through the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority to rehabilitate, expand and maintain the D&I system in Guyana, several D&I facilities, mostly drainage structures,Emre Can Jersey, have been identified for either resuscitation or rehabilitation.These works are being carried out within a framework of upgrading and modernising the system to cope with the negative impacts of climate change and to meet the demands of the expanding agriculture sector.The Canals Polder drainage system was designed to operate with a combination of sluices and mechanically driven drainage pumps.However,Marc-Andre Ter Stegen Germany Jersey, it was explained that the No. 2 pump unit was abandoned in the late ‘80s,Malik Hooker Jersey, a period when most of the D&I systems were in a state of deterioration.(Fareeza Haniff)
