Rainwater harvest a missed opportunity

Every time the skies open up the country experiences floods and massive destruction of infrastructure as if flooding is some sort of unexpected event. When the rains stop, we sit back and wait for nature to let loose again.

The fierce power of nature in the form of floods has long held a powerful grip on our thoughts and it’s not uncommon to find people who view the phenomenon as the destructive act of an angry god. We don’t believe in such myths, but if by any chance the gods are indeed angry, then they have every right to be furious at successive governments and a people who have continuously chosen to make the wrong choices when it comes to harnessing natural resources.
