HELLO BELOVED HIVE FRIENDS ♥️♥️

Hello everyone, good evening. How are you all? I hope you are all well. On this happy occasion, I would like to share with you all my experience visiting a very large reservoir in a neighboring village.

I decided to travel to a neighboring village to visit a very large reservoir in Paya Laot village. I had heard a lot about the beauty of this reservoir and I was eager to see it for myself. I started my journey in the early afternoon after a delicious breakfast at home. I rode my motorbike in the sunny weather. Indeed, the road to the neighboring village was a winding road surrounded by yellowing rice fields and large trees along the way. The scenery along the road was very beautiful, with green rice fields, mountains, and unique trees along the way. I tried to take some pictures as I traveled.

After several hours of travel, I finally arrived at Paya Laot village. They showed me the way to the reservoir, located not far from the village. When I arrived at the reservoir, I was very impressed by its beauty, but unfortunately, it looked very dry. I felt both pity and sadness. I had traveled quite a long way to visit this reservoir, and I was really hoping to see its beauty, but it turned out to be dry and there was no water at all, only the green plants growing inside. I looked around the reservoir, which was dry and barren, with cracked soil and scattered gravel. I could see some plants that had died from lack of water. There were still very green plants inside with enough water in their roots. Some animals that usually live around the reservoir were no longer visible.

I felt a little disappointed because I had imagined the beauty of this reservoir beforehand, but I also felt curious about what caused the reservoir to dry up: was it due to the long dry season or something else?

After asking the Paya Laot villagers, I learned that the reservoir had been dry for several months due to the long dry season and climate change. The locals also said they were working to find a solution to restore the reservoir to its original state. I felt a little better after learning the cause of the reservoir's drying up. I was also amazed by the resilience of the local residents in the face of this hardship. I hoped that one day this reservoir would be beautiful again and become an important water source for the local community.

I decided to head to the dam at the reservoir, even though it was already dry. I wanted to get a closer look at how the dam functioned and what caused it to overflow. I walked to the dam, located at the end of the reservoir. The dam looked sturdy and strong, with its thick, tall concrete structure. I could see that it had several sluice gates that could be opened and closed to regulate the water flow.

I saw from a distance that there was still a little water left at the edge of the reservoir. I immediately approached the water, hoping to get a closer look. When I got closer, I saw that the water was indeed very small, only a few square meters.

I stood at the edge of the water above the small reservoir, enjoying the view in front of me. Even though the reservoir was dry, the remaining water still looked beautiful with aquatic plants. I also saw green trees surrounding the reservoir, which made the view of the reservoir even lower.

After enjoying the view for a long time, I went home. When I got home, I saw a resident's house on the edge of the reservoir. The house looked simple, but the walls were made of concrete and the roof was made of tiles. On my way, I had to cross a bridge on the reservoir dam. I could see that the house was located very close to the reservoir so that the homeowner could enjoy the view of the reservoir every day.
