Questions people ask
Cleaning means treating the sewage. This plan spends most of the money on roads and walls, not on cleaning the water.
No. Smooth, narrow channels make water faster and floods worse downstream.
Many riverside families are marked for displacement, with no real consultation.
Clean the water first, protect the floodplain and groundwater, and ask the people who live here.
