FLOOD

Flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. It is included one of the most frightened disasters in the world. This disaster brings a lot of bad effect to nature and people.

There are three kinds of bad effect that caused by flood; primary effects, secondary effects and long-term effects. First is about the primary effects. The examples of primary effects are physical damage and casualties. Physical damage can damage any type of structure, including bridges, cars, buildings, sewer systems, roadways, and canals. From casualties, people and livestock die due to drowning. It can also lead to epidemics and waterborne diseases.

The next is secondary effects. The examples are water supplies, diseases, crops and food supplies and trees. Water supplies mean contamination of water. Clean drinking water becomes scarce. Diseases mean unhygienic conditions. Spread of water-borne diseases. Crops and food supplies mean shortage of food crops that can be caused due to loss of entire harvest. However, lowlands near rivers depend upon river silt deposited by floods in order to add nutrients to the local soil. And Trees mean non-tolerant species can die from suffocation.

The last is long-term effects. The example is economic. Economic here means economic hardship, due to: temporary decline in tourism, rebuilding costs, food shortage leading to price increase ,etc.

From the explanation above, we know that flood causes many bad effects to our live especially our environment. So, we must care about cleanness of our environment.
