Also, if memory serves me correctly, the government shared all the documents with the opposition and took opposition members on a tour. Is Mr Granger less informed about the project than the many experts here in this site who have been proving their brilliance or lack of on this topic over the past few years.

The AFC and APNU at all stages were opposed to the Amaila Falls.  We were even treated to the spectacle of a DRY waterfall during the dry season.

 

The PPP was NOT transparent about the process, and this was evident in the selection of Fip Motilall t build a road to the interior. What qualifications did he have, aside from being an Indian supporter of the PPP?  NONE!  Yet millions was squandered on him.

 

IDB can refute the fact that the headlines claims that they do not see the project as viable.  I am willing to bet that they don't.

 

It is quite evident that the IDB and the UN are as relieved that the PPP was tossed out of office, as they were when the PNC was tossed out in 1992.

As noted on previous discussions, there are indeed many projects worldwide which are augmented by flows from other streams.

 

Also as stated, I was the Executive Coordinator for Hydroelectric Power Development where projects were constructed in Canada with identical conditions to those for Amaila Falls proposal, i.e., flows augmented from other stream(s). Was also involved with similar projects in Africa, Europe, India, Australia, etc.

 

Similarly for all streams, mathematical and statistical approaches are conducted to determine the probabilities of occurrences to meet the water supply needs plus other pertinent parameters for the proposal; such as 1:100, 1:1000, 1:10,000 year of occurrences.
