Probability for the increase of pest and diseases associated with wetter conditions. An increase in downpours as the season progresses. A general increase in surface wetness is likely as the season progresses in some areas. Farmers Advice for April 2018 For the month of April, farmers are encouraged to take heed of the advisories from their regional agriculturists or extension officers and to be vigilant and follow the Hydrometeorological Service’s daily and three-day forecasts via the radio on 56.0 AM and on our website at www.hydromet.gov.gy. The following should also be taken into consideration; Northern Guyana is expected to transition into its primary wet season by mid to the end of April 2018. Farmers in the Rupununi Region should note that they are also expected to transition into their main rainfall season mid-April to early May. Advice for Crop Farmers Harvest water during the wetter days of the season. Change the timing of farm operations- adjust sowing and harvesting period to avoid negative effects of heavy downpours. Water crops once the soil is dry. Construct proper drainage for water runoff. Cultivate seedlings under a shaded area to avoid damping off.

  • Guyana's Flood Disaster...The National Response
    Introduction The natural disaster…and after Torrential rain, a deluge, an inundation of parts of the Coastland, in short - the country’s worst natural disaster, was the experience of Guyanese during the January- February period. The average amount of rainfall in Guyana for the month of January for the past 100 years is 7.3 inches. However, the country witnessed more than seven times that in January 2005 - some 52 inches. From December 24 through January 31 the total amount of rainfall exceeded 60 inches, with one night’s rainfall amounting to seven inches. This resulted in severe flooding and Government declaring Regions Three, Four and Five disaster areas. As the Administration planned its response, President Bharrat Jagdeo immediately called meetings of Cabinet Ministers, Leader of the Opposition Robert Corbin, Joint Service Heads and the City Council. Later he met with representatives of the Guyana Red Cross and members of religious organizations and non-governmental organizations. From these meetings with various stakeholders, committees, including members of the Opposition, were established in charge of water, food, shelter, health care and infrastructure, to assist affected people. Cabinet Ministers were dispatched to affected areas and provided periodic briefs to the Head of State. A committee headed by Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon to coordinate assistance from overseas and the donor community, was also established. A Joint Operation Centre (JOC) was set up at Eve Leary and the relief efforts were coordinated through this entity, while the President’s Residence, State House was used as a resource centre. The worst hit areas were the East Coast of Demerara in Region Four and Canal No.

  • 10 the Heavy Rainfall Also Caused an Increase in the Water Levels of The
    10 The heavy rainfall also caused an increase in the water levels of the East Demerara Water Conservancy Dam (EDWC). This structure is not a robust structure and is constructed from sand, clay and some peaty material. In addition, repairs have been carried out in many areas, to address old breaches or recently overtopped sections, using a locally available organic material known as pegas. At the eastern section of the northern dam, about 30% of the dam is considered to be in critical condition. For the rest of the northern sections of the dam and also for the western section of the dam, about 10% is assessed to be in a poor state4. The crest of the dam is at approximately 60.0 ft relative to Guyana Datum (GD), which is 1.8 feet above Mean Sea Level. Safe management of the dam requires that the water level in the conservancy should be maintained above 50 feet GD to avoid drawdown failure of the dam inwards, but should not go higher than approximately 57 feet GD to avoid excess pressure on the upper sections of the dam, which could in turn lead to failure, or above 59.0 feet GD, which would lead to breaching of the dam.
