Flood season starts early for this year. The no-electricity season isn’t over yet, here come another flood season. It’s been many years that the sewage system in Phnom Penh cannot cope with the volume of rain water fall from the sky. Yet we see no improvement in dealing with this problem.
A heavy rainfall yesterday afternoon left many streets and home in Phnom Penh flooded. Even worse, it makes the road traffic stand still, and many vehicles damaged by the flood. All of these damages and problems would costs us hundred of thousand US dollar, if only we are able to calculate this damage in dollar. The cost of petrol wasted in the traffic jam, the cost of damages to the vehicles by flood, and countless other problems created by flood.
What about solution? Yes! the School of Phnom Penh City (SALA KRONG) 
has done so much to deal with this problem. One of the most interesting action by the School of Phnom Penh City is filling up more lakes. (Argument: Filling up lakes has nothing to do with flood, it is the rain that cause flood, it not their fault)
In the end, I think that you should take it that way, be prepare for more flood coming soon. If only a few hours of rain could hit the city this hard, what happen if there is a several hours of rain fall? I guess, every one of us should sell out moto, car, and buy a speed boat, or jet ski. Don’t forget to wash your self when you’re home, because the water is dirty.
ENJOY YOUR FLOOD SEASON!
