City + Flood + Health
In Phnom Penh this week there were a heavy raining for two days on Thursday and Friday in the evening betwwen 4 to 6pm. With 1 hour heavy raining can make the city flooded and as the result it was flooded in Phnom Penh. All the road were filled with raining water and this is not a good raining water as it mixed up with all the dirt that come up from under the ground.
During the rainy season, Phnom Penh face the difficulty of traffic jam and cause many motors and cars stuck on the road as they can move slowly one after another. The owner who control the vehicle seem not happy at all because some of them got their machince stop woring under the water on the road. Many houses and building a long the low road got wet and flooded inside the house.
After raining, the people will be likely to get sick if they don’t properly care for themselves because of the dirty flood in the city. It is very poison and bring lots of serious illness with all these dirty flooded water.
The water system is contructed everyday but it seems cannot solve the problem yet for now and i hope it will be better in a few more years to come. I hate raining in the city as i also face problem traveling a long the road during the flooded in the rainy season. Nothing we can do so i just come to complain.
