Prague 12 will cooperate with the municipality to solve the flood in Komořany
The water and mud that have already flooded Komorany twice in one week comes from a nearby plowed field. The mud has already been cleared by the city district. However, the town hall and citizens are worried that the situation will not be repeated during the next rain. The Municipal Council of Prague 12 is therefore negotiating with experts about other possible preventive measures that should eliminate similar consequences of weather fluctuations in the future. Prague 12 is also asking for help from the City Hall. city of Prague. Mayor Zdeněk Hřib therefore came to inspect the affected areas in Komorany. The spokesman of Prague 12, Petr Kocián, informed about it.
“Climate change is a reality. In order to mitigate or prevent its consequences, this year we are subsidizing the city district in the order of tens of millions of crowns. The case of the Komořany flood is particularly serious. At present, they are already working on the proposal of measures mainly in cooperation with the Prague Water Management Company. I assume that the municipality will participate financially,” said the mayor of the capital Zdeněk Hřib.
The Prague 12 district has permanent vegetation on its land. The vegetation maintained in this way helps in weekends like those that occurred during the rains. However, the mud apparently got into the development from privately owned fields.
“We are discussing with the owners of the field a method of cultivation that would prevent the soil from being washed away. We are also negotiating with Lesy ČR about measures in the forest through which the water and mud flowed. The existing polders will be cleaned, but it will probably be necessary to build more,” says Eva Tylová, deputy mayor of the city district.
