Over the past few thousand years of human settlement the nutrient rich silt has been spread throughout the islands, but the heavily rains in the monsoon season rapidly errode anything that is not secured by deep roots. As such much of the islands hillsides have been terraced for cultivation and rivers and streams have been the subject of extensive terraforming and human intervention. | Over the past few thousand years of human settlement the nutrient rich silt has been spread throughout the islands, but the heavily rains in the monsoon season rapidly errode anything that is not secured by deep roots.
