 Oecussi rivers - rainy season
Oecussi is usually very dry but when the rainy season starts many of the rivers swell and make travel difficult.
These people just deal with it and just wait for the river level to drop and then resume business as usual.
Some communities can be cut off for several weeks when the bigger rivers peak. During the dry the riverbeds are used as roads.
There are very few motorized vehicles in Oecussi but even the big lorries can not pass when the water is high.
When the level is low the rivers are used to wash the trucks and collect gravel for making concrete.
