The video explains as to why the Thailand flood has occurred, it's more of a reassurance to the people giving them the information they needed to know but so far have not reliably gotten.
The flood is natures fault, in fact the rainfall was the same as last only slightly more frequent, but rather our fault for trying to control it by building dams. The video also went on to explain the governments tactic of strengthening the water levees in order to protect the capitol city, Bangkok. But either way, if it were to flood it would last for no more than a month. And over all, it was estimated that if left to its natural route the flood should have left in 50 days.
Overall, the video finally addressed the issue of how people are not receiving exact and right information. WIth the government spewing out different numbers and estimations as to whether the levee's would break. In the end, the video is here was assurance that we can hold past this flood, if we just remain calm.
Flooding is part of the E.M Syllabus:
8.1 collection and control of water for a variety of uses
water supply (storage, transfer, dams, reservoirs); industry and domestic use; waste disposal; power; agriculture (irrigation)
8.4 the ways in which processes operating within the water cycle affect development
(causes and effects of flooding and drought)
14.7 ‘climatic hazards’ (extremes of weather): causes and occurrence (cyclone, flood, drought)
