Who has this much time for such innovative thinking. We wait for disasters every year, for the sack of Aid.
How about harvesting these flood waters? The trouble with South East Asia is that the nations here are not proactive in solving problems. If harvesting is properly done, flooding will cease and water shortages will end. But unfortunately, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and others are riddled with corruption and mutual hatred that any broad policy cannot be implemented.
