Floods are not calamities. It’s time the newspapers and TVs stop carrying negative stories of flood e.g. photographs of houses under water, crops destroyed, public amenity affected etc.
Why don’t we see the positive side of it? If one does a cost-benefit analysis, the flood has more benefits. In today’s highly fertilised agriculture, flood removes the salinity from field apart from depositing useful silt. Let’s allow the rivers to spread its wings.
