channels in the region due to guidance of the Senior General, factual
information of Myakan reservoir, and essential maintenance of the lake for
lesser storage of water.

flow of water can be arranged along inlet channels and tributaries of dams and
reservoirs to the irrigated areas.

not to damage ancient heritages.
