Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha yesterday inaugurated the brand new $466 million pumping station in Adventure, Corentyne, which is expected to help drain 6,000 acres of land.
The pumping station, comprising two 150 cubic feet per second pumps, is designed to drain 126,000 gallons per minute, and will finally bring considerable relief to the drainage of Black Bush Polder and other surrounding areas.
