Another brilliant use of our tax dollars- all the plants and trees that were planted near the lake (after Loy Krathong when the walkways were flooded to the point that the fair had to be abandoned) are now under water.

Work started just as the lake water receded enough to allow access, but when it was still raining and more heavy rain was in the forecast- wouldn't it have been smarter to wait a few weeks after the heavy rains had departed the area?

It was so obvious that this was going to happen, and such a waste.

Maybe I'm completely wrong here- is it beneficial for young, newly planted shrubs to sit completely submerged in polluted water for several days?
