    Hello! I have a few questions
    1)Can I know specifically who will have access to these pumps? In the sense who is in charge of maintenance and care?
    2)Can I know if there is a possibility to transport material to the riverbank?
    3) As read from a statement above usually the pumps pump water a further 20m from the river. Can I know if there is a specific intake length?
    4) Parts of the system that should be static are the fixture location ( pumps can be moved), and the piping. Can I know how the piping is protected right now from the floods?

    Thank you,
    Marshal
