Essequibo -Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud and team of technical Officials from the Ministry during a visit to Essequibo, Region Two today also took time to check on the Lima Sluice and the existing pump station.
The pump has been functioning as normal and has been assisting in reducing the level of water on the land.
Regional Chairman Ali Baksh said, despite the build-up of water as a result of the high intensity rainfall, the region has not recorded extreme losses.
