Time and again, [purely in my head]

I have wondered:

How can a people live in a place (X) for centuries and generations without knowing:

1) this place floods, and it has been flooding for the past 100 years,,, should we wait for governments as we die and our houses are flooded.... or should we build our houses at a height (y) based on previous data, or we should stop activities till the flood season is over?


2) this place has droughts, but occasionally, like once a year, it rains seriously. So, what if we built several huge water catchments with stone and cement, in several areas in our district...

Then we can direct rain or buy water with lorries and fill them up...?

With such plans, even an NGO can come help you out --- Even the CDF fund will find some use ...


My 100 cents..
