The surface of the fields looks green because of duckweed.
In spite of the rainy season, it rains little these days .
In this district, there is no big river .
So farmers fill their rice-fields with water from some ponds and the brooks.
But the amount of water is very small and they sometimes fight because of the scramble for water.
Perhaps Japanese saying ’Ga-de-n i-n-su-i' came from this problem.
Now they are longing for rain!!
