The vast Mekong Delta during the flood season

For generations, the flood season has been a familiar sight to the people of the Southwestern Mekong Delta. The rising water not only brings silt and washes away the salt from the fields, but also brings many gifts that nature generously bestows.

The water lilies are in full bloom this season.

For the people here, the arrival of water is a joyous occasion, a time for them to change their farming methods and livelihoods. From agricultural cultivation, they have shifted to exploiting the abundant resources that the water brings. For the people of this land, the flood season is an inevitable season, a gift from nature.
