The Ministry of Natural Resources is working with Conservation International-Guyana and regional administrators to ensure that a recently completed water reservoir in the Rupununi is sustainably managed.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that on Wednesday, Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman visited the pilot project which is intended to deal with any water shortage in the Rupununi; particularly during the dry season.
The reservoir is situated on lands belonging to Nappi, DPI said, and will bring relief to that community and surrounding villages. “We have invited Conservation International (CI-G) to give us guidance as to how we could have good management of this resource,” Trotman told DPI.
