Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and even death if untreated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.


Cholera was prevalent in the U.S. in the 1800s, before modern water and sewage treatment systems eliminated its spread by contaminated water. Only about 10 cases of cholera are reported each year in the U.S. and half of these are acquired abroad. Rarely, contaminated seafood has caused cholera outbreaks in the U.S. However, cholera outbreaks are still a serious problem in other parts of the world. At least 150,000 cases are reported to the World Health Organization each year.

Explanation:

During floods, a huge amount of water comes down in a short time. Hence,

water starts overflowing on the streets. The excess water then contaminates the

drinking water supplies, bursts pipelines and causes sewers to reverse their course

of flow. This leads to major health risks as excreta flows on the surface and

contaminates the water. The contaminated water provides a breeding ground for the

cholera bacteria. Hence, cholera outbreak is common after floods.
