Introduction
A flood is an excess of water (or mud) on land that's normally dry and
is a situation where in the inundation is caused by high flow, or
overflow of water in an established watercourse, such as a river,
stream, or drainage ditch; or ponding of water at or near the point
where the rain fell .(NIDM)
Floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, heat waves, and extreme storms
have been responsible for 80-90 percent of all natural disasters
recorded in the last ten years. (WHO)
Floods impacted over 2 billion people worldwide between 1998 and
2017.(WHO)
Around 800 million people live in flood-prone areas around the world,
with around 70 million people exposed to flood events every year,
while in India, around 3.19 million people are affected annually, with
an average area of 7.2 million hectares affected. (Prasad, 2020)
