ponding vs. flooding

[eatshitndie]

ponding is worse than flooding as water has decided to live in sg and remain a pr while in flooding water has decided to go away to greener pastures after staying in sg as a temporary leech.

Agree. Ponding might breed mosquitoes while floods will not

Ponding at most breeds guppies. Flooding may breed groupers. Fleshy and delicious.

Ponding breeds, mosquitoes, tilapas, groupers etc., at least it keeps the spurs on the civil servants, give work to PUB, NEA, AVA, Nparks & STPB. If not, they are too free with their year end bonuses, shopping & visiting car showrooms & property launches!

lianbeng corrects ur statement, "u only need a 20-cent coin size water pool to breed the infamous Aedes."
how many 20-cent coins can u find in that pond n flood?

"puddling" will be the new buzzword once "ponding" is deemed as a more troubling annoyance than flooding. will "spooning" eventually be used to dampen the expectation of a gushing load of unwanted fluid? :p

Simple. Just use Google Image Search to tell the difference.

Flooding:

Tell me which one is the one that looks more like the recent orchard flood that PUB called ponding. Then we know how an entire government organisation can be shallow.

ah, that's a splendid decider... use google's universal arbiter of terminology instead of dickie definition ... especially with image corroboration... triple confirm !
