Detailed explanation-3: -Floods are one of the most common natural disasters occurring in many parts of the world every year. The effects of floods include spread of epidemic diseases, soil erosion, destruction of wildlife habitat and forests, damage and destruction to buildings, bridges, roads, sewer pipes, power lines, and agricultural land.
