Abstract: Long time ago, Lat Ngone village had abundant water resources and forest. There are a lot of big trees and the climate was also regular change. Now water as well as climate are a lot different if compared to the past. Every year villagers have suffered seriously from climate change, some time we have floods and some time drought, it is irregular climate changed. Last year (2008), we had suffered from drought, around 2 ha of rice production area could not harvest. Oppositely, this year we have suffered from flood, some of agriculture land and rice in the field are damaged.
In addition, the flood has also destroyed irrigation system in our village. The impacts of flood and drought on the village are food shortage and consequently serious starvation as the living condition is getting worse.
