World Bank funding to reduce flooding in Georgetown will also address critical parts of the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC).
The Ministry of Agriculture this week sealed contracts amounting to approximately US$8.5 million, seeking to reduce the risk of flooding in the low-lying areas of East Demerara, a release from the World Bank yesterday noted. The contracts are funded through the World Bank-financed Guyana Flood Risk Management Project.
