Flooding in Tu Lien ward (Tay Ho district) in recent days has received the attention of public opinion when in the middle of the capital, people have to use boats or requisition wooden planks to make “monkey bridges”. temporary relocation, even though the heavy rain has stopped for more than 10 days.

On the afternoon of June 6, informed with Lao Dong, Mr. Nguyen Le Hoang, Vice Chairman of Tay Ho District People’s Committee, said that the District People’s Committee is coordinating with relevant units to deploy all possible solutions to solve the problem of flooding. waterlogging in the affected areas.

“In terms of immediate flood control solutions, Tay Ho district will arrange a large-capacity pump at Tu Lien lake to drain water out,” said Mr. Hoang.

As noted by PV on the same day, at the intersection of Xuan Dieu – Quang An streets, the District People’s Committee in collaboration with relevant units mobilized people and vehicles to serve the installation of the drainage system.

According to a representative of the Tay Ho District Construction Investment Project Management Board, on the morning of June 6, the authorities conducted a survey of flooded areas to find a solution to temporarily overcome this situation.

“In the short term, we are trying to complete the installation of the pipeline today so that the drainage system can be operated as soon as possible. Thereby, soon the flooding in the areas will be solved soon. affected,” said the representative.

The installation of the drainage system from Tu Lien lake to the outside is being implemented.

The embankment embankment plan, arrangement of 2 pumps to drain water in the flooded area to Tu Lien lake.

Also in the afternoon of June 6, in the flooded area of ​​Lane 139 Au Co Street, the functional force also tested the embankment embankment plan, arranged 2 pumps to drain water in the flooded area to Tu Lien Lake.

However, as noted, this option almost does not work.

“The large amount of wastewater from Quang An, Xuan Dieu, Au Co and some neighboring areas is poured into the sewers leading to Tu Lien Lake, so no matter where it is pumped, the water in the lake will flow back up the sewer. back, so the water cannot escape,” said Mr. Phan Huu Cuong (68 years old, lane 139 Au Co).

The pump works for 3 hours to suck the water out, but the water level remains the same after that.
