Rice farmers yesterday said that water is once again being pumped into their fields between Palmyra and Borlam villages, East Coast Berbice.
The water supply was turned on yesterday morning after the media reported that over 2,000 acres of rice fields were under threat due to the shut off of a GuySuCo pump, which is used for irrigation, over the past three weeks.
The farmers told Sunday Stabroek that officials from GuySuCo and other relevant agencies visited the area yesterday morning and the water supply was immediately turned on.
