They are slowing eating the mountain away, foot by foot and tonne by tonne. Its just next to the village, where we are building houses.
I went to determine what type of sanitation system we are going to adopt in village Rima Keuneuram, near Banda Aceh. But what I saw is a dangerous stone quarrying next to the new houses. There are excavators, blasters, huge trucks and other heavy machinary.
I asked them, what happens when the earthquake comes, The hill will collapse on the houses? They are very confident that the hill will not collapse, becuase they have already tested its strength. They have made caves and blasted the hill, but nothing happened.
But, over the years, there is going to be vast amounts of soil erosion, and the whole area will slowly become the most dangerous zone.
Do we still build houses there?
