 What is flood & It’s effects
A Flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that
is usually dry. It’s an overflow of an expanse of water.
Flooding may result from the volume of water within a
body of water such as a river or lake. Flood water can
contain debris and pollutants. Deadly waterborne
diseases like dysentery and cholera spread quickly.
Impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to
property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, non-
functioning of infrastructure facilities and deterioration of
health condition owing to waterborne diseases, and the
survivors face the major threat of starvation
 Destruction caused by loods in
Pakistan
Over 33 million of the country's approximately 220
million population have been affected by the raging
floods, causing a staggering loss of over $30
billion in damages to an already weakened
infrastructure. Currently, one-third of the country is
under water as the massive rains and melting
glaciers have caused the country’s main Indus River
to overflow, inundating vast swaths of plains, and
farms. Almost 45% of the country's cropland has
already been overburdened by the floods, posing a
serious threat to food security and further adding to
the already skyrocketing inflation.
 Areas effected by floods in
pakistan
Sindh and Baluchistan are the two most affected
provinces in terms of human and infrastructure
impact. 1,163,605 livestock have been killed,
most of them in the province of Baluchistan,
while destruction to 13,115 kilometers of roads
and 436 bridges has impeded access across
flood-affected areas.
