Northern Cyprus has big flood problems. Too much rain came early. The water filled old drains. Many roads are closed. Workers are busy for many hours. Old water places are also a problem.
The rain came one day early. So, leaders started emergency plans. In the capital, some streets are blocked. Other roads are also closed. A dam has high water levels.
Leaders say old systems cause problems. The old water ponds are full of mud. They cannot hold water now. They should hold water in dry times. Now, they cause floods. One pond holds less water. It cannot take sudden water.
Teams are working hard to fix things. Workers remove trees and fix spots. They clean mud from drains. It is a big problem. Everyone is working hard. Staff stayed at work all night.
Floods cause more than traffic jams. Cities can get damaged. Town money is used for these problems. One street is lower than the river. Drains do not work there. Fixing this needs much money.
The weather is changing. Old buildings are a problem. Northern Cyprus has more extreme weather. We must manage the environment better. New systems are needed for safety.
