The Associated Press reports... "Lake Azuei has had problems with flooding for years. Canals that are supposed to stabilize the large lake's water level have long been clogged with trash and sediment, leading to flooding. Hillsides surrounding the lake are deforested, allowing water and sediment to run into the lake."
