This project has two components. First, to counteract flooding from sea level rise, this project will improve the ability of the Government to manage water levels behind the East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) dam during heavy rains by improving internal water flows in the EDWC and increasing EDWC drainage relief capacity to the Demerara River and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. Second, the project will hold consultations with civil society and the donor community to create consensus around a medium- and long-term intervention strategy to help the country adapt to sea level rise, including the production of a flood event contingency plan. Link to Source
