Flood causes terrible loss of life and property.In assam about 22.43 lakh hectares of land was flooded in July 2004 floods.Many villages and towns are submerged forcing the inhabitants to flee for life.Flood causes untold misery and terrible economic hardships.Flood also results in the spread of water-born diseases and various types of communicable diseases.It also causes a rise in the price of essential commodities and creates scarcity of food and fresh water.5165.jpg.(image source)_theguardian.com
India's rivers carry huge sedimentation due to the Himalayan connection.Under these circumstances a few favourable multi purpose projects in selected northern tributaries will be fruitful.Frequent erosion of river banks at different places is one of the major problem that need to be controlled by proper protection measures in areas like Majuli in Assam.3966.jpg.(image source)the guardian.com
Food disaster management in the flood prone areas of our country is necessary where technically qualified people such as scientists,engineers,geologists,meteorologists,etc can prepare a successful plan.This is very important for immediate planning at the time of flood and after the flood for rehabilitations and also for forecasting along with preparedness.In this manner the severe consequences of this major natural calamity can be minimised.3000.jpg.(image source)_theguardian.com
