Answer:

Floods have adverse effects on the economy, environment and life of the people. Floods destroy roads, bridges and paths thus making difficult for people to move to safe areas. Crops and farms could also be washed away. Thus flooded areas may face the problem of food shortage. Floods destroy houses and buildings making people homeless. 

Floods not only effect the life of people but also kills animals and birds thus disturbing the balance of ecosystem.

The environment also gets effected by flood. toxic chemicals and other hazardous chemicals end up in water and eventually contaminate the water. Thus flooded areas also face the problem of water shortage.

In addition to this, flooding also brings a lot of diseases and infections including fever, sore throat, pneumonia, dysentery etc.

Sometimes, snakes and other dangerous insects make their way to these areas creating havoc and terror.
