11.2006 making the most out of a flooded day
Population in Ribeira de Santarém, a small village on the Tagus river bank, learned to live with ocasional floods every year. They have adapted their way of living to the river rising waters and never store valuables in their homes lower levels. Yesterday, when we visited the site, they were concerned but making the most out of the day. This area is well known for their wonderful rich pastures, grazing bulls and horses. Today, waters are expected to rise again.
