The rains of the past few days have caused the water level in the Pula guard canal to rise to a level not seen in many years . The height of the banks keeps the risk of flooding at bay, but highlights the complete neglect of the responsible authorities in maintaining the riverbed.
The problem isn't so much the typical vegetation (such as reeds, which abound at the mouth), but the growth of tall trees. This is met with general disinterest. Interventions are authorized by the General Directorate of the Regional Hydrographic District, but notification must be made by the Municipality . Many in the village hope that, in the spring or next summer, once the canal is dry, intervention will finally be possible after years and years. The height of the trees is the best testimony to how neglected the problem has been.
