Tirana- When entering the houses in Fush\u00eb-Kruj\u00eb it is not hard to see the line in the walls, the line which indicates up to where the water levels of the Zez\u00eb River have risen last time. When you go closer you can see that the line reaches approximately up to the height of someone\u2019s neck and thus we understand that Mr. Hysen\u2019s confession about the water ripping the lamp in the room upstairs off, still stands. His house is in the so called area of the rails, right by the river bed. Up until yesterday, the narrowness of a bend below the river line, who was not cleaned, had created a \u201cstubborn barrier\u201d with plastic which last time covered his yard with mud.<\/p>\n

But he shows that in 2011 they weren\u2019t as lucky and the water didn\u2019t just stop at their garden. The weather was not favourable in the least and exiting the house was only made possible by using loaders. \u201cWe stared death in the face. Can you believe it?! I got 9 people out of here by using loaders. It came to the point that there was a flooding two times in a year. Material damages were of the least importance, the issue here is that there were lives at risk.\u201d<\/em>
\nNowadays, involved more than ever in the project that is being implemented by the Albanian Development Fund, financed by the Albanian Government, for the full reconstruction of the Zez\u00eb Bridge (Ura e Zez\u00eb) in Fush\u00eb Kruj\u00eb, as part of the project for the Zez\u00eb River system, he personally accompanies engineers that are working on expanding the river bed right below the wall of his house every day.<\/p>\n

And he is not the only one. Miss Zelfie, his mother confesses that: \u201cOut merchandise keeps getting flooded and there\u2019s humidity everywhere. Last time they got us out they took me to my other son\u2019s house who is located a bit higher up and no water got in there. The river has always been here my dear, but people came and built houses right next to each-other and there you have it now. Thank goodness these boys came and are working on it, solving the situation bit by bit\u201d. Hysen is very hopeful and tells us that, \u201cthere was a storm two days ago, but no water got in my house now\u201d. He understands very well that this is no coincidence that is only happening this year.<\/em><\/p>\n
