The flow rate of the Karaçay Stream passing through the center of Kent has increased due to heavy rainfall persisting for 2 days. As part of the rehabilitation works, the concrete dam previously built in the stream bed collapsed due to the increase in flow rate. As a result of the dam collapsing, the flow rate of the stream increased even more, causing the surrounding dirt road to collapse. Municipal and Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) teams closed off the area where the road collapsed with a safety cordon. Osmaniye Mayor Kadir Kara, who went to the region, received information from officials about the works to be done.
The increased flow rate of the Karaçay Stream passing through the town of Kent has caused the collapse of a previously built concrete dam in the stream bed due to heavy rainfall persistent for 2 days. As a result of the dam collapsing, the flow rate of the stream has further increased, leading to the collapse of the dirt road next to it. To ensure public safety, the municipal and AFAD teams closed off the area where the road collapsed with a safety cordon. Osmaniye Mayor Kadir Kara visited the region to receive information from officials about the planned works to address the situation.
The collapse of the concrete dam in the Karaçay Stream has caused concern among residents in Kent due to the increased flow rate of the stream. The collapse of the dam has also led to the collapse of a dirt road next to the stream, further adding to the safety risks in the area. In response to the situation, municipal and AFAD teams have taken measures to secure the area and prevent any potential accidents. Osmaniye Mayor Kadir Kara visited the site to assess the situation and discuss plans with officials to address the impact of the dam’s collapse.
The collapse of the concrete dam in the Karaçay Stream has highlighted the importance of proper infrastructure maintenance and monitoring to prevent such incidents in the future. The increase in flow rate of the stream due to heavy rainfall has exposed the vulnerabilities in the dam and surrounding infrastructure, leading to safety concerns for residents in Kent. The timely response of municipal and AFAD teams to secure the area and close off the collapsed road has helped mitigate the immediate risks of the situation. Moving forward, it will be crucial for authorities to implement measures to reinforce the infrastructure and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The collapse of the concrete dam in the Karaçay Stream serves as a reminder of the challenges posed by extreme weather events and the importance of proactive infrastructure maintenance to ensure public safety.
