Guyanese Online: Editor’s Note:
For over 200 years Demerara was a Dutch colony, along with Essequibo and Berbice. They designed sturdy sea defences, and built a series of canals to drain the land after heavy rains. Their canal systems were inherited by the British after 1814 when the Dutch colonies were ceded to Britain creating British Guiana. However, over the last 200 years, many of the canals were filled in to make roads or are not properly maintained to ensure optimum drainage.
