The National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) under the Ministry of Agriculture has set plans in place for the construction of a flood embankment at Kokerite Savannah and construction of a drainage and irrigation structure at Yakusari Cattle Savannah, both in Region Six, Berbice.
In mid-2021 cattle farmers incurred losses to the tens of millions of dollars as a result of severe flooding at Kokerite and other neighbouring savannahs.
