Houses in the middle part flooded as a result of the development of houses along the cannal.

The FLOODING AREA map shows which area is flooded during rain as well as the flood level of each area. As mentioned above, the middle part is affected the most. Furthermore, the middle part used to be a swamp, which the canal flow into. However, now people here built houses and road to cover up the swamp, which make the flooding worst. The section below shows the different in topography levels. In the section B-B’ we can see the part that used to be the swamp in the middle part and houses on the pile, as well as the contrast between buildings in the middle part and these along the canal. The buildings in the middle part are belong mainly to low income household while building along the canal is for middle and high-income people. From that, we can understand that the low-income people in the middle part are affected by flooding the most.
