This video addresses the main causes of the current flood in Thailand. It begins by stating that the flood water itself comes from rain water - which is expected due to the annual monsoon season. The video continues to explain thath rainwater from the North flows down into the Gulf of Thailand due to the sloping relief of the country. Originally, the vast amount of rain water would have been absorbed and curbed by the large amount of rainforest, but as technology has advanced, humans have built dams to control the water from flowing southward to build industrial areas and housing. The video points out that figures show that rainfall since the beginning of 2011 has not varied much from previous years, however rainfall in September itself has exponentially increased. This drastic change caused dams to overflow unexpectedly, creating the flood in which we are in currently, with an estimated amount of over 100 billion cubic metres of water on land.  The video shows that the solution is to mimic the natural patterns of water flow but instead by using rivers to transport the water. However, this process will be slow and Thailand will face floods for no less than a month.
