Wauna is a community in the Mabaruma area of Barima-Waini, Region 1. It forms part of the network of north-western communities included in this Essequibo directory.
Connections with Wanaina
DPI’s August 2023 report on water infrastructure described Wauna’s reliance on a reservoir at Wanaina and the drilling of a separate well for Wauna. The project was intended to use the community’s existing distribution system and improve supply.
This connection is a useful way to understand the relationship between the two place names: Wauna and Wanaina are separate entries, but their public-service networks have been linked. The report records the works as they stood in 2023; it does not establish today’s water schedule.
