Help me to understand this difficult sentence
Hi guys
This is the sentence that I have some difficulties to interpret. Particularly, the first part "Just as seriously for Binut" This is taken from an historical text dealing with tunneling under a river.
This is the sentence:
"Just as seriously for Binut, the cost of tipping bags of clay into the river to plug this latest hole in the river bed."
Hope you can help me.
Thank you

aqua towel 638 Just as seriously for Binut, the cost of tipping bags of clay into the river to plug this latest hole in the river bed. It's impossible to say without the sentence or two that comes before this. Something serious was mentioned, and this cost mentioned here was equally serious.
