Furthermore, these drains are used as waste dumping sites as well. That's why a rehabilitation and upgrading of existing stormwater drains is urgently needed regarding the protection of the Enyau catchments and the increase of stormwater events in times of climate change. To protect the Enyau river three main drains in its catchment area have been selected for rehabilitation in compliance with modern methodologies like applying nature-based solutions and the Green-City approach, e. g. placement of physical catchment rehabilitation measures (such as gabion basket walls and cut off drains), planning and construction of sustainable urban surface drainage systems with local water harvesting and 'green space utilisation' for e.g. infiltration into the groundwater."}, {"bbox": [97, 457, 1133, 536], "category": "Text", "text": "The total investment sum for Output 1.3.1 will be approximately EUR 1.2 m with which approximately 4.5km of critical drainage channel that drain into the Enyau catchment is to be constructed for flood control and pollution management and the PEA will be ACC."}, {"bbox": [97, 549, 1133, 735], "category": "Text", "text": "To avoid future uncontrolled littering of solid household waste into the drains first steps towards a professional waste management system in Arua City shall be renewed and developed further, including the introduction of a circular economy for selected types of waste, e.g., organic waste.
