Are Settlers Really Blocking Waterways?

Si Filosofo Tasyo ay patuloy sa pagpilosopo

There were observations that one of the causes of flooding in CDO is the occupation by settlers of waterways draining floodbasins.  I tried to investigate this myself.

I went to a flood prone area in our place.  True enough, the following were observed:   the creeks were now 2 meters wide at most,  in some areas, it is even l meter.   Most the banks of the creeks are occupied by settlers.

I think, we may tolerate squatting elsewhere but not in waterways.   It is dangerous for the settlers, and it endangers the lives of others?

Is there an office that weill supervise this?  If none, somebody must legislate.  We have too many lawmakers.  Who?   Hoy gising.
