A flood occurs when water overflows or inundates land that's normally dry. This
can happen in a multitude of ways. Most common is when rivers or streams overflow their
banks. Excessive rain, a ruptured dam or levee, rapid ice melting in the mountains, or
even an unfortunately placed beaver dam can overwhelm a river and send it spreading
over the adjacent land, called a floodplain. Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm or
tsunami causes the sea to surge inland.
Most floods take hours or even days to develop, giving residents ample time to
prepare or evacuate. Others generate quickly and with little warning. These flash floods
can be extremely dangerous, instantly turning a babbling brook into a thundering wall of
water and sweeping everything in its path downstream.
Moving water has awesomes destructive power. When a river overflows its banks
or the sea drives inland, structures poorly equipped to withstand the water's strength are
no match. Bridges, houses, trees, and cars can be picked up and carried off. When
floodwaters recede, affected areas are often blanketed in silt and mud. The water and
landscape can be contaminated with hazardous materials, such as sharp debris,
pesticides, fuel, and untreated sewage. Potentially dangerous mold blooms can quickly
overwhelm water-soaked structures. Residents of flooded areas can be left without power
and clean drinking water, leading to outbreaks of deadly waterborne diseases like
typhoid, hepatitis A, and cholera.

The island of Bali is generally thought of as an island full of life. When and where
death does encroach, it often becomes a spectacle of cremations and elaborate
ceremonies. One small part of Bali however upholds an unusual and apparently quite
ancient tradition pertaining to death. Sitting at the edge of Lake Batur in Northern Bali is
small cemetery known as Trunyan, where people from the nearby village of Kuban bring
their dead to rest on top of the ground.
The cemetery is small and there is little need or sign of maintenance. Although
this is the final resting place for number of people, a sense of respect for the dead does
BPPK |Modul Bahasa Inris IPKP V 118
seem to be in short of supply here. n this final resting place, the bodies of the deceased
are just covered in cloth and rudimentary bamboo cages. These cages are frail and
practically leave the body out in the open to the elements.
This creates an obvious concern; dead bodies left out in the open will of course
decompose and the potential for unwelcome odors and even health concerns is real.
However here, apparently, the presence of the banyan tree, described as holy, has
warded off such concerns. The huge banyan tree seems to stand as a guarding and
protective figure of this cemetery. ts leaves carpet the ground around the gravesite and
presumably this is part of the way in which the tree keeps the area free from unwelcome
odors and so on.
Even with the hassle and haggling from the people that wait and wander about
the cemetery, this is still a peaceful place that enjoys beautiful and powerful scenery. The
lake dazzles in the Balinese sunlight and Mount Batur watches somewhat broodingly in
the distance.

For men who suffer from prostate enlargement, saw palmetto (Sabal serrulata,
serenoa repens) belongs to the family of betel palm plants and is native to South
America. Saw palmetto fruits have been eaten by humans for thousands of years. The
natives in South America used the fruit tincture and crushed seeds of the plant for their
healing effects. Numerous human trials report that saw palmetto improves symptoms of
an enlarged prostate, such as night time urination and weak urinary flow. Multiple
mechanisms of action have been proposed, and saw palmetto appears to possess
reductase inhibitory activity (thereby preventing the conversion of testosterone to
dihydrotestosterone).
Medline Plus, a service of the US National Library of Medicines and the National
nstitutes of Health, gave a rare A rating for the efficacy of saw palmetto in improving
enlarged prostate. n Germany, the commissions E Special Expert Committee of the
Federal Health Agency, the German equivalent of the US FDA, approved the use of saw
palmetto extract for an enlarged prostate treatment. t is important to ensure that the
duration of treatment with saw palmetto extract is at least two months to achieve a
significant improvement in symptoms. n addition, patients who respond to the therapy
within three to six months will benefit from it for at least three years.
Occasionally, patients may find that at the prescribed dose, saw palmetto has little
beneficial effects and does not seem to be effective. This may reflect the purity of the
preparation, or added ingredients, such as synthetic binders or fillers. For this reason, it is
recommended that only high-quality products be used.

A. The characteristic of saw palmetto.
B. The effect of saw palmetto.
C. The symptoms of prostate enlargement.
