COUNCILLORS of the Regional Democratic Council of Region 2 (Pomeroon–Supenaam) have given their approval for the water schedule for the irrigation of rice fields on the Essequibo Coast to be made public and available at all NDC offices across the Coast. The approval for the water schedule to be made public and available to farmers came after APNU/AFC Councillor, Mr. Naithram raised the matter at the July statutory meeting in the Regional Boardroom at Anna Regina.
Mr. Naithram told the meeting that he has being agitating for  quite a while at the RDC meetings for the water schedule to be put back in place, but it was never done.
The Councillor explained that the system needed to be implemented again, so that farmers can know when the Regional Administration will be releasing water from its conservancies to irrigate fields in the different areas.
