Minister of Housing and Water Harry Narine Nawbatt has officially launched the National Water Council which is expected to facilitate the promotion of an integrated water resource management approach in Guyana. The idea for its establishment emerged during consultations when it was suggested that there should be a merger of the former water companies – Guyana Sewerage and Water Commissioners (GS&WC) and Guyana Water Authority (GUYWA). The idea is to focus not only on delivery of potable water but on management of water resources. The Council will serve as an advisory forum to the Minister of Housing and Water in implementing, developing and amending the national water policy. In addition, the Council will make recommendations on the national water policy and other functions as stipulated under the water policy Act.
