There is a need for greater empathy amongst the general public to recognise the importance of local sea and river defence systems, Public Works Minister Robeson Benn said.Public Works Minister Robeson BennThe Minister,Wholesale China Jerseys, who? has responsibility for the nation’s sea and river defences said that the issue of garbage disposal is one that needs to be addressed as it has serious ramifications, in addition to the now routine clogging of drains, canals and outfalls. He pointed out that in some areas, garbage has accumulated into rafts of debris which, due to wave action, scour the banks of embankments and sea defences, wearing away and weakening them. Stakeholders will have to come up with an approach to remove squatters and attendant garbage, especially in poorer parts of the capital, he said.“A plan will have to be worked out and it will have to come about in a change in spirit and will, at the level of the City Council, to deal with this problem which is now intractable and which will only get worse as we go forward.”Government, eventually, may have to address these issues since City Hall is not performing as expected, it was further noted.Benn said that Government has, over the years, embarked on a programme to first rebuild these structures, then rehabilitate and maintain them as needed. It was noted that miles of coastland have already been lost to the sea as evidenced by the presence of kokers. The challenge has been further compounded by the loss of mangroves along critical sections of the coastline. Launched under the Public Works Ministry and now under the Agriculture Ministry, a project is underway to mitigate this.The last two decades of work undertaken by government, have resulted in the coastline being secured, the minister explained.The impact of global warming is being felt and this has necessitated a move towards the construction of higher sea defences. These are between half a meter to one meter higher in many places, to offset rising sea levels. Minister Benn stated that flooding along the coastal belt is often as a result of overtopping, or heavy rainfall and not breaches within sea defences. He explained that once rainfall exceeds the drainage system’s capacity,Wholesale Jerseys From China, flooding will occur. This, he indicated is between 35 to 40 mm of rainfall in a 24 – hour period, and once this is surpassed, flooding would result. The filling in of several main drainage canals in Georgetown has further reduced drainage capacity and there is now a greater reliability on pumps to effect faster drainage.Guyana has been, and continues to be assisted in its sea and river defence efforts by the European Union (EU) and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). These agencies were described as “reliable” partners by Minister Benn. He revealed that the 9th EU Development Fund has resulted in the spending of 18 million Euros to boost local sea defences.The 10th phase of the fund will see the expenditure of 14 million Euros within the sector. It was important to note,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Minister Benn said, that the financial agencies are now funding the programmes and projects by allocating monies to government,Cheap NHL Jerseys, directly, rather than stand alone projects which were overseen by the EU. This move signals confidence in government’s ability to manage and execute these works,Cheap NBA Store, in a transparent and fair manner.The CDB’s US$24 million loan and contract being worked out at present will encompass the Sea Defence Resilience Project.All these interventions are part of efforts to ensure that Guyana continues to be an export driven economy, particularly for agricultural products such as sugar and rice, Minister Benn said. The region’s food security is assured by the local export of rice, sugar and other produce to regional markets and further afield, he added.Lessons have and are being garnered by local engineers by visiting overseas locales such as the Louisiana and Mississippi Delta, in the United States, Holland’s sea defences and even further afield to Bangladesh.? As a result of these visits, it is understood that the current sea and river defence structures can be built much higher eventually, Minister Benn explained. He referred to the notion that Guyana’s coast should be abandoned and residents move to higher ground such as Soesdyke, Timehri and Linden.“The investment that is already in place on the coast is an enormous one, and it will take a very long time to replicate the fertility or the investment to be able to move people to that area… we don’t think that it is necessary, we know that at the engineering level we can build higher, incrementally as we h
