The water had no where to go!
It doesn't really flooding around the campus but somehow, only the campus ground is flooded.
The surface water would have the tendency to go to lower ground.
The surface water from the housing area are passing through the campus since the fencing on that side has waterways build into the fence with gaping space on the ground every few feet.
The surface water would head towards the lake.
When the lake is full, the water would overflow into the stream on the other side of the street.
But, now there are 2 layers brick fencing and the elevated street separating the stream and the lake.
A few years ago, the brick fence fell down in that corner where the water used to rush to the stream.
The brick fence was rebuilt and UMT also built brick fence marking its territory.
Now the water has no where to go and backflow onto the campus ground.
Poor students who stayed around for the study week and lives on the lower ground are advised to move to the first floor of the hostel.
Final Examinations will begin next week. Hopefully the water will be fully receded by then.
PSW is the worst hit office. They had a boat to transfer precious belonging for safety this afternoon.
Funny but true, there was a boat at the side entrance at PSW this afternoon.
Words to my beloved students: Stay safe, stay dry! Unless you have dozens of clothes to keep you warm at the hostel and know exactly where the big drains are, please stay out of the water. We had a student who were inching into the water to the thigh level fell into the big drain while posing for a camera!!!
Again, stay safe, stay dry.
This weather is expected to last till tomorrow and heavy rain is expected till January 1st next year.
