Sometime soon the river level will rise, and some areas will become flooded. In the few months preceding the flooding, a lot of people buy soil, get it delivered to their houses, and use it to raise the ground level.

Anyone who was planning a few days at the beach or on the islands might want to wait up, there's a lot of wind and a lot of rain right now.

Some will be lucky from using simple measures time after time, unfortunate not all, but that also depends on the severity of the flood water. I have noticed over many years from the clock tower side of the river of Kampong Cham, there the Cham community will take to higher ground along the main highway in makeshift accommodations for livestock and themselves, waiting for floodwaters to recede before they can return safely back to their lands.

They do take their animals to higher ground. A small number of people with low houses, build makeshift houses on higher ground.

The children normally have a lot of fun playing in the water.
