Flooding in Barbados

Port of Spain and Bridgetown dont flood like last week. 

 GT flood. No flood in POS and bridgetown

Climate change is real. People on GNI need to read about flooding beyond Guyana. India and Pakistan experience flood each year. Some people live on water years round in the Far East.

Global warming triggered climate change, thus intense rainfall hit the Caribbean affecting the named countries above, unfortunately Guyana was not spared.

POS and Bridgetown dint flood like Guyana. 

Guyana need a better sea defense system in the future. I hope when the PPP reelected, they will make the sea defense a national priority.

Drain and canals block up. Fix simple thing fuss.

This rarely happens in Barbados.  Flooding occurs in Trinidad due to mountain run off.  It occurs in Guyana because nobody attends to the drains and flooding is FREQUENT!

In any case Trinis complain frequently about the flooding, so why cannot Guyanese be allowed to do the same.  When Trinis complain they hold the LOCAL Govt accountable.  Guyanese have not had LGE in 20 years so can only hold the PPP accountable!

I am quite disgusted at how some Guyanese litter. We cannot blame government for littering, citizens must also take responsibility.

Bhai, How many years must we talk about this???   DEm People in GT like Doo Doo

I agree, Nehru. When I was in Guyana, the city council would come around every week and clean the drains, weed the grass and pick up garbage. People used to clean their own gutters two or three times per week. The govt spent $1B on clean up that gone wasted. I don't know how Guyana became so laid back and dunke-dam. 

Brigetown and POS no flood. Dont like Mr Snake.

Its a proven fact that people litter when a place is dirty, and don't when it is clean and accommodation for the disposal of garbage is made.

LGE is needed but the PPP refuses to host it, so they should take 100% of the blame for anything bad that happens in any of the municipalities.

Nobody wants to be the only dirty person in a clean environment.  Look at NYC, now where near as filthy as it used to be.

The PPP likes it as it is as they refuse to host LGE.

In those days (the early 70s) Guyanese still believed in standards and many Caribbean visitors to Carifesta 72 marveled about how clean and beautiful G/town was.  Even the Bajans.

What happened to the $500 million that the PPP spent on the clean up campaign? Why weren't these main drainage canals cleaned? These canals are supposed to act as a storage for excess water until the low tide comes around. Then they are used to drain the land. If they are all choked up, it's no surprise why the place floods so easily.

The clean up Georgetown initiative is ongoing, most part of the city has been clear already, thanks "Mars" for stating the obvious, there are still areas to be clear, the workers are feverishly working on those areas as we speak.

Bunch of hypocrites, where is all the money robert thief wid surrendra to buy pumps?

Dem buy vaseline too?
