Improved Access to Water in Drought-prone Rural Communities in Guyana
January 6, 2019
| Brief description of the Japan-Caribbean Climate Change Partnership (J-CCCP) Project “Improved Access to Water in Drought-prone Rural Communities in Guyana”. In order to tackle with the issue of water security the communities face, the Project aims to: • Harness understanding of regional groundwater potential, enabling communities to utilize resources for rural development plan, • Localize technical and institutional capacities to monitor water resources, and • Improve access to water through provision of detailed analysis of the resource potential of the available sources, in view of inadequate data on water quantity and quality, and sanitation and hygiene (with emphasis for youth to minimize waterborne diseases). These will provide the basis for the determination of best practices for water access and allow for the opportunity to demonstrate and showcase these methods to other communities in Guyana |
