former Minister of Enver Hoxha: That is why Albania was not flooded in Communism

Referring to the recent floods in Albania as a result of recent rainfall, former Minister in Enver Hoxha's government said measures were taken earlier at the time.

It's a whole science, but it worked a whole controlled drain. Lands that lie near the coast of Vlora, Fier, are land below.

The great Colector was cleaned every year. All pump stations in late August were searched, and special commissions dealt with hydrovories.

All dams were checked. They were not allowed to tread even the feet of the cattle in the dam. Arrangements were taken in advance. The big water canals and dikes made up what was called the draining network” said Themie Thomas.
