Figure 89 shows a large quantity of accumulated water in the Jong savannah (in red) in September 2008, which led to considerable deterioration of its surface area in comparison to how it was before the 2004 floods (left). The Jong savannah and the city of Gonaives are connected to a vast swamp, a situation which contributes greatly to the vulnerability of the urban centre to floods.
