These five brooks have usually very spare water, but dur- ing the rainy season, they bring to the swamp alarge amount of water. Then the swamp swells rapidly, and often flows over the banks into the surrounding fields. Besides these brooks, the underground water also feeds the swamp, because the swamp basin and surrounding valley are about10—12m below the top of surrounding hills, and the level of the underground water lies about10m down from the surface of the hills, so that the level of the underground-water situates alittle higher than the level of the valley. For this reason, in the valley of the swamp, a boring can make a flowing Fig. 2. Landscape of Tega-Swamp, showing its surrounding hills and rice fields, (z jne of SagitluUa sagUtif( Ha)..
