Reducing flash flood

My little dam in the farm (Brgy Laguit Padilla, Bugallon, Pangasinan) is strong enough to impound water and hence, help reduce flash flood during heavy rains. No cement and steel, only stones, sand, soil, organic matter. And no government funding, tax money or agency involved. Pictures taken last Wednesday.

 

How it looked in April-May 2017.

People should prepare for rising creeks, rivers and lakes, not rising ocean. Lots of sick and dead people in Pangasinan flooding the past 4 weeks alone due to prolonged flooding and leptospirosis.
