In this video clip, A farmer urgently chips open a concrete irrigation ditch with a hammer and chisel, creating an outlet to drain floodwater from a rain-soaked ginger field.
Why critical: Ginger roots rot within 24 hours if waterlogged. This emergency breach redirects water to lower ground, saving the crop.
Risk warning: Unplanned ditch breaks may cause downstream erosion or neighbor disputes. Always consult irrigation maps first!
Proper solution: Install PVC drainage pipes before rainy season at field’s lowest point (depth: 60-80cm).
