intake roadway canalhellip
Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits
bullRecharging ground water
bullMaking soil more fertile
bullProvide much needed water resources

Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

environment and society
Primary effects
Damage to structures
bridge building sewerage system water
intake roadway canalhellip
Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

intake roadway canalhellip
Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits
bullRecharging ground water
bullMaking soil more fertile
bullProvide much needed water resources

Flood Effects
Floods make an enormous impact on the
environment and society
Primary effects
Damage to structures
bridge building sewerage system water
intake roadway canalhellip
Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

Flood Effects
Floods make an enormous impact on the
environment and society
Primary effects
Damage to structures
bridge building sewerage system water
intake roadway canalhellip
Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

Primary effects
Damage to structures
bridge building sewerage system water
intake roadway canalhellip
Damage to life
Human Animals Cropshellip
Flood Effects
Secondary effects
Water supplies ndashDrinking water contamination
Diseases ndash Spread of water-borne diseases
Shortage of Crops and food supplies ndash Food
crops can be caused due to loss of entire
harvest
Transport links destroyed ndash hard to get
emergency aid to those who need it
Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits

Flood Effects
Long-term effects
Economic ndash due to temporary decline in
tourism rebuilding costs food shortage
leading to price increase etc
Psychological ndash flooding can be highly painful
for individuals in particular where deaths
serious injuries and loss of property occurs
Floods Benefits
There are many disruptive effects of flooding on human settlements and economic activities
However floods (in particular the more frequentsmaller floods) can also bring many benefits
bullRecharging ground water
bullMaking soil more fertile
bullProvide much needed water resources
bullFreshwater floods particularly play an important role in maintaining ecosystems biodiversity in floodplain
