Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

As the height of the rainy sea­son ap­proach­es next month, Wood­land res­i­dents have re­newed their calls for ur­gent ac­tion to ad­dress per­sis­tent flood­ing in the Oropouche Drainage Basin.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia on Sat­ur­day, Pres­i­dent of the Wood­land Flood Group, Kevin Hard­uar, said the banks of the main wa­ter­cours­es, in­clud­ing the Bhag­ma­nia Riv­er, New Cut Chan­nel, South Oropouche Riv­er, and the Duck Pond Riv­er, have nev­er been fixed by the last gov­ern­ment.
