Improper garbage disposal by residents, meanly those engaged in swamp land development is said to have contributed to a wave of flooding in recent days leaving thousands of dwellers homeless in Liberia’s Capital, Monrovia. Six hours of heavy down pour of rain on the first day of June followed by subsequent down pours on the second day of the new month in Monrovia trigged the wave of flooding. The situation has left about 3,000 homes to become casualties of water running over chocked public guitars, denying the passage of water into the Du-River, resulting to flooding.
