Guyana is proactively working toward improved irrigation which will positively increase yields by as much as 400 percent, Minister of Housing and Water, Irfaan Ali, said yesterday.Speaking at an event to mark World Water Day,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Ali said the prediction of the Food and Agriculture Organisation is that agricultural yields in water stressed areas would decrease by 50 percent in 10 years time.He added that climate change would also reduce availability of water for agriculture from the Himalayan snow peaks.“All these changes occur during a period when the world would need to produce food for an additional 2.7 billion people. It is therefore not unreasonable to conclude that water availability would have severe impact on food production and sustainability,China Jerseys,” Ali stated.As a result, he said the Hope Canal and other irrigation channels must therefore be pursued aggressively to ensure viability and sustainability of Guyana’s agricultural sector, which has excellent prospects in becoming the primary regional food source as most of the agriculturally productive Caribbean countries are severely pressed in terms of fresh water availability.He said identification of these issues is indeed timely given the current onslaught of the El Nino crisis.“The El Nino phenomenon presents a reality whereby the economic activities in Guyana and the Caribbean are threatened due to geophysical changes quite literally half a world away,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping,” Ali stated.According to the Minister, predictions are that the current El Nino phenomenon would eventually dissipate in coming months and all may revert to normalcy.However,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, he warned, “We must not allow complacency to germinate as the lessons learnt from this experience must be documented and studied so as to guide our future policies.”He said that Guyana is well endowed with water resources. There is a source of potable water which can be accessed with relative ease in most areas of the country.This source is further well protected from depletion as reserve capacity exists in sufficient quantities to withstand the effects of a medium term drought. This, unfortunately, is not the case in most of the Caribbean territories whereby negative variations in rainfall patterns result in an immediate effect in the quantity and quality of freshwater reserves, Ali stated.He said that Guyana must learn from the experience of these nations and take the necessary steps to safeguard its water resources.“The fact that our systems have some resilience to overcome periods of drought does not create precedence for indiscriminate use. “In fact,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, the contrary holds in view of sustainability, as we must certainly recognise that indiscriminate use would spiral out of control to eventual depletion of the resource. The checks and balances must thus be instituted now while there is still a resource to protect,Wholesale Jerseys,” Ali stated.For Guyana, he declared, the availability of water resources is a cornerstone of the economy.“We are a nation engaged in the cultivation of water intensive crops and any decline in water resources has a ripple effect all the way to the country’s GDP,” he stated.
