What Are Effects Of Floods?

Floods can have a disastrous effect on society and the environment.
The average number of people killed by floods per year is around 6,700 and physical damage alone can cost countries millions.
The worst affected would be drainage/sewer systems which can completely collapse under the pressure of a flood, this could then lead to raw sewage or other toxic materials to spill out into large bodies of water which can then contaminate fields or other bodies of water. This leads to the eventual spread of water-borne diseases and the absence of any clean drinking water.

Not only do severe floods cause deaths they can also lead to thousands of people being forced out of their homes due to significant damages to houses.
Economic hardship can be a long term effect of bad flooding as rebuilding costs mount, tourism decreases and local businesses and farms are forced to close down.
Although crops and food supplies can suffer under the effects of flooding, there are some farmlands that greatly benefit from the nutrients that can be carried to the soil.

Floods are one of the most widespread and destructive natural disasters occurring due to various reasons like heavy rainfall, damming of rivers, hurricanes and melting of snow. Often floods are sudden and are difficult to predict like for example flash floods. Floods occurring in densely populated urban areas have the capacity to do maximum damage to life and property.

The major effects of floods are destruction of life and property; each year thousands of people lose their lives due to floods and millions are rendered homeless. In areas where there are no measures to predict occurrence of floods and to evacuate people to safety the loss of life and damage to property is maximum.

Flooding cause damage to infrastructure like roads and bridges in urban areas and destroys farmlands in agricultural areas. The sewerage systems are often overwhelmed due to floods resulting in the overflowing of drains. The accumulation of water in pools results in spread of various infectious diseases.

Flood is basically an overflow from an expanse of water. This results in submergence of land. It is also used for an inflow of the tide as far as flowing water is concerned.

There are many after effects of a flood. Much of it is quiet deadly. These effects of a flood are divided into three key categories which are :

- Long-term Effect:
- Secondary Effect:
- Primary Effect:

The long term effect of flood basically includes the Economic effect. A flood can result in an economic hardship for the flood hit area. This results in rebuilding costs, decline in tourism etc.

Secondary Effect includes contamination of water, diseases because of unhygienic water.

Long term or primary includes physical damage to everything and casualties amongst people and livestock.
