The River started dropping quite quickly once the water from the other rivers subsided. The 12 sluice gates remained open for another 2 weeks. Once the water had dropped to its normal level, the cleanup operation started. The water deposits huge amount of mud. In the case of The Container House, this mud is on top of the lawn. The only way to wash the mud off the lawn is to pump water from the river onto the mud, to loosen the mud and then wash it back into the river. This involves raking and pushing the mud into the river. We used a Petrol pump which pumps 50 000l per hour. With 7 people it took 3 days to clear the mud. In some places the mud was knee deep.
