Floods are caused in areas where there is excessive downpour and poor drainage system. Flood is also caused because of other reasons including overflow of water from rivers and oceans, overflow of water in the plains due to dam break, excessive flow of water owing to sudden melting of glaciers. In coastal areas hurricanes and tsunamis cause flood. Floods can cause major destruction just as other natural calamities.
Several towns and cities around the world have suffered from severe floods that have cost lives of people and animals, resulted in loss of property and other valuable assets and destruction of soil and plants. Farmers are majorly impacted by floods as their crops get ruined owing to this weather condition. Water accumulated for days at a particular place also results in the outbreak of various diseases. When the condition is severe, the schools and offices are shut and it thus disturbs the normal life of people. Places that face severe floods take months to resurrect.
The irony is that there are certain regions that are hit by flood frequently and even though the government is aware about the problem, proper measures are not being taken to overcome it. The government must build good drainage system and water storage systems to control this problem.

More than 1.6 lakh people have been affected in 7 districts of Assam. They have lost everything: homes, livelihood and loved ones. Lives are in danger as people are left without shelter, food and safe drinking water. People have no choice but to leave everything behind to reach a safe area. High level of water has destroyed crops, leaving families with an unclear future and are in desperate need of help. Rivers Karakhal in Hailakandi, Kushiyara at Karimganj, Barak at Chachar, Dhanshiri in Golaghat is flowing over the danger level.
