In the book Nectar in a Sieve, by Kamala Markandaya, the people rely on the monsoons for their crops. If the monsoons are to large the crops drown, if they are to small, the crops die. This is very hard for the villagers. When the monsoon ruins the crops, they have nothing to sell so they can't get money for food. The crops that others were relying on are also gone, so they don't get the food they need. Monsoons are very important but can also be very devastating.
