Despite floodwaters in the Lower Pomeroon and Mahaicony River slowly receding, the water level in the Mahaica River continues to rise, contributing further to the discomfort of residents.
Since the start of May, communities across the country have been plagued by flooding. This has resulted in major economic losses for households as the flooding has greatly affected farmers and communities in riverine areas.
Resident of Mahaica River, Sugrim, told Stabroek News yesterday that the water level has risen and currently is just four inches away from his elevated kitchen.
