Investments will continue
Stating that stream improvements were implemented with an investment of 90 million liras, Harun Seçkin, Head of Peninsula Streams Unit of İZSU General Directorate 3rd Regional Operations Department, said, “In order to prevent floods and possible loss of life and property due to floods, we have completed 786 meters of improvement works in Urla İncirliboğaz Stream and 617 meters in total in Seferihisar Efendioğlu Stream. We have also manufactured 280 meters of construction in Çamlıçay Neighborhood to protect the region from floods. We will also start working in Sivrice Stream in the same region. Our stream cleaning works continue uninterruptedly. We prevent bad odor and mosquito formation by cleaning the sediment and reeds formed during the rainy season and ensure hydraulic flow in the streams. While preparing our peninsula region for the rainy season, we also took precautions against flies and insects before the summer season. We will continue our stream improvement investments in the Peninsula.”
