Due to the climate changes the Keram grassland villagers of the Angoram District recognised that there were big challenges ahead, as now in the wet season the river water rises to a depth of 8-11 meters.  At this time their stilt homes flood and the domestic animals drown. The pigs and chooks have to be kept in the family home as there is no other place to put them. Babies, elderly and the disabled are the most affected during the flooding season and are usually the first to drown.
