There are about 6,000 summer houses near Narva and most of them are suffering from flooding.
Floods occur every four or five years are winters and are caused by heavy snowfall and spring rain showers which turn the summerhouses built on swampy areas become frog ponds, ETV s current news show Aktuaalne kaamera reported on Monday. It s very sad that we just managed to plant the tomatoes and now they are under water. We pump water out of the ditch but it s still full of water, Jelena Rogatsova said.
Even buckets are used in the fight against excess water. Like this, manually, there s nothing to do about it. If only the ditches were cleaner, but they re full of trash, Vladimir Ivanov said.
