flooding in the rice bowl


the monsoon season never fail to show itself every year nowadays ... bringing heavy rain causing erosion in the high land and flooding of the low lying land ... I am so sure now that there will be lots more rain coming in the future with the greenhouse effect getting worse ... the ice caps in the north and south poles will continue melting ... pity those living in the low lying areas ... acquiring losses and losses every time the "banjir" arrives!!! ... like I said earlier ... people never learn ... lots of padi land were reclaimed to develop housing estates ... and guess what!!! ... where else can the water in the padi field go to? ... if not up ... beyond the flood danger level ... notice the water mark when the flood reached its peak! (pic taken when the water receded)
