Several villages will be bracing themselves for possible flooding today as current spring tides are expected to hit another high following flooding in a few areas yesterday, including the Stabroek Market and
Water Street area.
The Ministry of Public Works yesterday issued an advisory, warning the general public to be on guard as spring tides are predicted to reach one of their highest levels today. Today, a height of 3.34 metres is expected at 5:23pm.
According to the ministry’s advisory, a number of areas are susceptible to possible flooding due to possible overtopping of defence structures by storm surges. The advisory further warned all mariners, including those operating fishing and larger vessels, to take adequate precautions. Use of beaches and foreshore areas for recreational purposes were also advised against.
The areas susceptible to possible flooding are:
Johanna Cecelia, Cullen/Perseverance – Essequibo Coast, along Pomeroon River banks
Moor Farm, Marionville/Bendorff, Good Success/Sans Souci, Melville/Sarah – Wakenaam Island
Cane Field/ Amsterdam, Blenheim/Endeavour – Leguan Island
