OPEN LETTER
Perth, 04/08/2021
Subject: Floods
Dear Mark McGowen, Premier of W.A.,
Dear Karen Vernon, Mayor of Victoria Park,
Besides sending booklets like your “Flood aware be prepared”, why don’t you just build some underground cisterns around the Swan River to regulate the floods? There are so many places where there’s only sand with some grass on top… (parks) and you could build these cisterns (water tanks) and link them with a very simple tube to the river that you could open in case of floods, at a cost far less than what it could cause a serious flood.
Best regards
Matteo Cornelius Sullivan
