Flooding in Haifa - Monday evening, 18/11/24

(haipo) - Flooding in several places in Haifa. You are also welcome to send us if you have encountered flooding.
Floods are not destiny, they are caused by clogged drains as well as by the engineering design of rainwater drainage systems.

Rainwater drainage is carried out using pipes laid under the roads. The water drains into the blinds placed on the sides of the roads. From the shutters the water is led to the transmission pipes and from there to the sea or to the streams.
If there is a blockage in the shutters, the water remains on the road and flooding occurs.

  1. After all, if there were people with a future mindset, and they cared about the city in general, and the residents in particular, they would take care of cleaning the drainage canals, even before the rainy season, but the problem is that there is no one who cares, they only know how to advertise, posts, to show how much they invest in... and ... and ...,
    and this is the result,
    Things that repeat themselves every year, unfortunately...

  2. Instead of trimming bushes and trees all day and making our lives miserable with the noise, they should open and clean the drains, this is more important, leave the pruning for the spring

  3. What a problem to write a warning note in the calendar……
    Every August + September we go out to clean all the drains and networks to avoid these puddles???

  4. Another thing from all the neglect from the time of a mayor from the previous city of Klish

    • Why wasn't half a year enough time to take care of it? Or is he still busy killing pigs?

    • Much older neglect. How easy and convenient it is to blame "my predecessor in office" for any nonsense!

  5. He sits in the bunker and trembles. And he didn't know either. Besides real estate combines, does he know anything? Did you want Yahav? You got it

  6. I was in Rumma Ramot Sapir and it was scary.
    Unbelievable, the third city in the country behaves like a third world country

  7. Enough rambling. Even the most efficient drainage system can contain a limited amount at a given time. Floods in the Western world are infinitely more serious than in Israel.

  8. Someone tell the municipality that we are in winter!! But now they will say, "Oh, we were surprised, why does it really rain in the winter?"

  9. Where is this impersonal municipality?
    disgrace
    How did they not take care to prevent this in advance
    Those responsible for the default should be fired urgently

    • You wanted a second term for Yona Yahav, so eat what you cooked, except exchanging flowers does nothing
