MONOMAD - Simple Ways to Enjoy the Weekend

Hello Everyone.
Last Sunday my wife and I went to the beach to play. The beach is located at Jalan Lancok - Meuraksa, Kec. Blang Mangat, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. About two years ago I visited here. There were no cafes then and the number of visitors was very limited. Today I could see with my own eyes that it is very busy here on weekends. Regularly visitors come here to relax in the afternoon and enjoy a cup of coffee. But some of them sometimes bring children with them.

When I arrived at the beach, I saw some small children playing with the sea water and sand. A boy is building a castle house from sand. The child's work looks very amazing. I thought that the boy had tried it several times and the palace he had made looked so perfect. Let's take a closer look at the photo below.

Two boys are playing on the beach. The boys are just walking sometimes chasing each other when the waves approach them. They do not swim in the sea like other visitors. Some visitors fight their courage with the waves in a safer place from the fierce waves. Not only children, adults really enjoy the weekend with their friends and also with their families.

Safe area Boundary

Flags have been placed on this beach to indicate the boundaries where it is allowed to play with seawater. This way, people who want to swim in seawater are safer from the risks that can occur. These limits must be observed for safety, especially for children. Ocean waves can be unpredictable at times, so it is important to place warning signs. When the wind comes from the sea, the waves can be very dangerous and extreme. Tourists should therefore be careful.

Fisherman's Boat

The people here are mainly fishermen. It is not always the case that fishermen catch fish in the sea here. sometimes have to rely on weather forecasts. The weather sometimes has a great influence on the activities of fishermen at sea. In addition to the difficulty of catching fish, the weather can also affect the waves. Fishermen must therefore pay attention to their safety. At the moment it is the rainy season and there are only a few motorboats active at sea. However, there are several boats on the beach. I think they wait until the weather is nice to catch fish.

Process of Seawater Desalination

Generally, people are looking for clean water for their daily needs, such as drinking, washing or watering plants. Here, people are now using seawater for their needs. Of course, the seawater must be desalinated before it can be used.

Seawater desalination is a process in which salt and other constituents are removed to produce pure water. Approximately 75 million people worldwide rely on desalination and that number is expected to grow as freshwater resources are stressed by population growth and millions more move to coastal cities with inadequate freshwater resources.
