Monsoon rains mean a lot of rain falling in a short period of time. Once the soil becomes saturated, drainage ditches and streams become full and overflow. The flooding that then happens may destroy crops and hamper transport. It could also mean that previously parched land is rejuvenated and turn from brown to green as fresh growth springs into life. Therefore, while there maybe a downside to monsoon rains, many areas rely on its life giving effect.
