The authorities were stretched yesterday as water overflowed the conservancy at Golden Fleece on the Essequibo Coast, with surrounding areas in Region Two remaining under a considerable amount of water.
Elsewhere on the Coast, as the rains eased off, floodwaters dropped and residents began a clean-up. However, there remained pockets where water remained on the land and along some areas on the East Coast Demerara, some residents reported rising water levels.
