City flooded again, conditions expected to continue says Hydromet Centre

when I left Guyana, Burnham was in power and GT used to flood...so many years and 3 administrations later and it still under flood

Enjoy the rain. It's raining here too.

In fairness to the politicians, this is as a result of climate change. 

1. Guyana's coast-land is about 5/6 feet below sea level and historically there has always been flooding on numerous occasions.

2. The sea defence structures were designed with a 10 to 20% probability of occurrence to withstand flooding.

3. The outflow structures were designed to withhold water which are then released during low flow periods; but are not operated properly.

4. Unfortunately these types of conditions will continue.

However, the government can improve the situation with proper procedures to maintain the conveyance system in proper working conditions.

The jackasses will say "but the water drain fast fast, is only one day it flood". Meanwhile no account is given for the millions in dollars in damages sustained due to PNC incompetency. They caused the flooding during PPP time and continue to do so during PNC time, after all they are in charge of City Hall and the administration of Gerogetown. No more Suba to blame.

Guyana is three feet below sea level... with the high tide and heavy rain - impossible to open sluice 

water from the back dam can only drain from clear canal - citizens can  do their part - don't throw garbage and carcass into drains and canals  

the government can start by educating nursery kids and have these kids pass the knowledge to other family members- have respect for elders , respect the environment and so on ....

government can start a recycling business and pay citizen to bring their garbage in 

but again!!! Any system will be corrupt- Guyana skont  would never get good - let them suffer - them don't like wok - some love the flood - " Bossman can't come to wok - dam has lost a mud and them Pinckney can't go to school

This is a failure of successive Govt, including the PPP, to properly address the flooding conditions with proper irrigation pumps and sea defenses.  Holland has been below sea level much more than Guyana and they and weathering very well!

Guyanese are perennial excuse makers for almost everything.  When we cannot find a rational human reason, we blame god or the White man!!

TRUE but dont forget what the FILTH HEADS were saying about flooding during the PPP Govt

Rain is expected for the next few day, means the people will have brace knee deep water until it receded. When all of this happen, the children suffers, the parents that goes to work suffers, and business will be affected. We have a government that is qualified to do everything half ass and never get it right the first time. 

I have been hearing about the Dutch company that was inspired by God to stop water and Granger is probably waiting on God's words to build an arc for survival.

I understand that the PPP has faults and Jagdeo would like to undo some of his failures. But who is the government of the day, and who campaigned on getting everything done right the first time? 

Intelligence people give voice to the suffering people. Idiots speaks for the government who make excuses.

The flood situation in Guyana will take years to address.  There is no one or two year solution.  This will require a set of interconnected canal network, dams and several pumping stations along the flood zones!

Guyana does not have the expertise and resources like Holland.

Guyana does not have the expertise and resources for a Hydro dam, but one was being built.

Expertise are there which could be accessed.  As for resources, then I'm not sure what you are suggesting.  Do they abandon the flood-prone areas to the sea?  Just think of the lost economic value which comes with each flood.

The expertise and resources are accessible in the international community but successive Govts have had a fragmented approach to the issue.  Guyana is a front-line country on environmental issues and I'm sure would be given the attention and assistance to cope and mitigate.

The PNC is a certified FAILURE but still FILTH HEADS sais that Guyana will be the next NY, change will come.

HAHAHAHA  DEM FILTH HEADS are a special kind of STUPID. They cant even use the excuse that they were droppen on their heads when they were born cause look at Ray, he aint doing too bad.

How does one Hydro dam negate all the flooding throughout Guyana?  And where is the expertise?  The only way Guyana can build a formidable drainage and irrigation system is with a grant or loan from a country like Holland who can provide it. 

The current gov't can do more in maintaining the sluices and pumping stations and that will help a little but only for the short term.  Other than that, Guyana does not have the expertise and resources to handle the current floods.

The Dutch built most of the existing sea defences when Guiana was a colony of the Dutch. Since then the English did very little to improve it, because the English never had the same level of knowledge as the Dutch on how to improve the system. I certainly wouldn't  expect a Guyanese of any race to know what to do exactly. The only solution is to go back to the Dutch and ask them for help. The Chinese don't have a clue, so don't even bother asking them.

The Limey DOGS only cared about the Profits from Sugar, Gold and Rum!!!!!!!!!!

Guyana is awesome!

Abee canecutta does feel happy when Abee hear song like dis wan.
