Measures to prevent winter-related issues in Pogradec

Measures have been taken by local and regional institutions to prevent winter-related issues in the Pogradec area and its surroundings. Key initiatives include:

Clearing drainage channels: Channels along the Pogradec-Gështenjas and Pogradec-Tushemisht roads, as well as in the Buçimas plain, have been cleaned to ensure effective water flow during heavy rainfall.
Rehabilitation of the Rëmenj River: A significant project nearing completion aims to stabilize the river’s course, preventing overflows that have caused problems during previous rainy seasons.
Operation of the Tushemisht pumping station: The Regional Directorate of Irrigation and Drainage in Korçë has assessed and ensured the technical readiness of the Tushemisht pumping station. This measure is critical for avoiding flooding in the Buçimas plain during the winter.

These efforts are part of the broader plan to manage winter emergencies, focusing on protecting local communities from heavy rainfall impacts and safeguarding agricultural land and infrastructure. The coordinated actions reflect a proactive approach to addressing seasonal challenges and minimizing risks.
