On the 18th September 2016, The Adopt a River Programme Implementation Unit and the Global Water Partnership joined forced for a community training programme which was hosted by the St. Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church, Barataria. Over 60 persons from 12 communities participated in a lively discuss on the importance of water, rivers and water management in Trinidad and Tobago.

A list of the communities represented are:

• Caura
• Caparo
• Kernahan
• La Savanne
• San Juan
• Arima
• Mayaro
• Maracas
• Barataria
• Moruga

The communities were able to learn of each other’s watershed issues as well as discuss their experiences, good and bad, in managing their rivers.

It was indeed a very frutiful event for all in attendance.
