ABSTRACT
The disruption in the irrigation system due to rain and fl ood, affected the drinking system available to population through irrigation canals, fi ltration systems, hand pumps and tube wells. Inundation of water caused homelessness and brought animals and humans so close that they started to drink from same stagnant waters. The result was the outbreak of diseases like gastroenteritis, diarrhea, skin diseases and malaria with serious new risks to those affected for even typhoid fever, hepatitis A and E, dengue and leptospirosis.
