New government should seriously introduce a proper flood management system in SL. SL has two distinct problems. If it rains, the whole country will almost get flooded. If there is no rain for two weeks, there will be drought. This needs to be addressed. A proper flood and water management system should be in place, first to harvest rain water and secondly to alleviate drought conditions which starts no sooner rain stops.

Totally agree. We all voted so that everyone would be made equal and rich. So rain and sunshine all year long would be no problem. God Bless!

The people who are living in the hill country should be vigilant in their surroundings. Due to the heavy rain the earth slips may befall unexpectedly. Thus parents should prevent their children from wading in the flooded areas sometimes the children may be carried away by the gusty water flow. Certain youngsters who are paddling in the flooded areas are also overly concerned about their safety
