The Demerara River rises from Mt. Makari, EL 400 m, and flows roughly Northward parallel to the Essequibo River and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at a point West of the Capital city of Georgetown. The entire river basin is covered by dense forest, both of the river banks are fat and the river gradient is very gentle except for the two points at Malali and Great Falls. The Tiger Hill site is situated approximately 60 km up along the Demerara River from Linden where there are bauxite mines, and 170 km upstream from the river mouth. At the Tiger Hill site, the river valley is the narrowest along the course of the Demerara River, and the topography is favourable as a dam site. Access to the Tiger Hill site is by Mabura Hill road on the left bank and on foot from the Linden-Ituni road.
Access is also possible by boat from Linden.
Access Road Length 15 km 5.
