The dredging of the Pomeroon River mouth is nearing completion with final works being done, says Regional Chairperson Vilma De Silva.
De Silva stated the that project which is being executed by Gaico Construction and General Services Inc, has improved the drainage situation in the Pomeroon. She said that recently, the Pomeroon had experienced heavy rainfall and farmlands that were flooded previously were dry, and she attributed this to the dredging.
De Silva acknowledged that for years the farmers had been requesting that the river mouth be dredged and said she is happy that the project was pursued. She posited that this will be a boost for the Pomeroon River and open up commerce.
