Concrete work is needed on flood prevention now
This week, the premier will visit five lower northern and central provinces that have long faced flood crises in order to implement and monitor water management and flood prevention plans, to ensure that they can be really done in both the short and long
But for the public, they are concerned about flooding in the short term because in three months, the rainy season will be here.
Taking plans to implementation, in addition to appropriately adjusting dam water levels, they will also cover the making of water retention areas, repairs for dam sluices, dredging of canals and building of floodways, etc.
People do not know what management will do and they are not sure that the plans will be completed in time to cope with the rainfall and floods this year.
The premier told people that the government would fully do its best in preventing floods. But they are not confident until concrete work is completed within the next three months.
Premier, do not forget to pull local villagers in to help this work because they are the real victims in areas that are well known for water flowing in their direction, holding water and drainage.
And pull in the private sector, which has resources and management, and is more efficient than the government by several times, to aid this work too.
People need the premier to do what she said, that she would do her full best before the flooding. They do not want to hear this phrase during the flooding, because it does not help to relieve the suffering.
