onsite\u201d Bailey said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bailey, \u00a0water originating from the hillside with high velocity has very little barriers to slow it down and prevent the erosion.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, boulders from the adjacent areas will be utilized for the restructuring and reinforcement while surplus of soil materials with finer aggregates sizes have been used for farm feeder road rehabilitation, \u00a0donated to other government agencies and ministries such as PWD, CHAPA,\u00a0 Solid Waste and the Environment Division.<\/p>\n<p>According to Alvin Christian, Heavy Duty Equipment, Soil and Water Consultant for the MAFBA working on this project, this waterway has been cleared several times in the past but this time around, \u00a0this rehabilitation will attempt to address several major issues such as the recessing of the eastern wall of the waterway by the angle of forty-five (45) degrees as opposed to the current angle of ninety (90) degrees.\u00a0 This will prevent the undercutting that occurs after heavy rains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are here to reengineer the watercourse in an effort to improve soil stability\u201d, said Christian.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the constraints faced such as lack of adequate heavy duty equipment and machinery, Bailey noted that a lot has been achieved thus far under the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>He further indicated his approval and satisfaction to Christian\u2019s expertise and his onsite supervision.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-790042558\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2
