 Massive flooding has devastated parts of South Asia, especially in North-Eastern India and Bangladesh. In the North-Eastern state of Assam in India, around 113 deaths have been reported so far, while most of these are because of the floods, around 20 were caused by rain-triggered landslides. In Bangladesh, meanwhile, nearly 60 have died. Overall, millions have been affected in these regions. The floods are more or less an annual affair and have badly hit the response to COVID-19 in Assam. As of July 21, there are more than 25,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Assam. The flooding that started in May has also wreaked havoc in the Indian state of Bihar as well as parts of Nepal. Reports have indicated that a third of Bangladesh is under water. Over 7 million people in Assam and 1.5 million people in Bangladesh have been affected. Experts claim that the situation is expected to get worse as monsoon winds will be approaching the region in the coming days. Assam flood situation is very grave at this moment and almost 70 lakhs people have been affected. More than 24 districts of the state have been affected by the flood. Assam has 33 districts and out of 30, 24 districts are badly affected. Among the badly affected, the worst situation is in Balpara district and almost 80 days have been reported as of now. It is expected that the rain will continue for some more days and hence the situation will worsen. Regarding Assam flood, what we need to look at is from the perspective of scientific management of the river system. Assam flood is not new. It dates back to the days of colonial period and after that but since a decade the Assam flood has taken its most worst phase. Because of the large scale dams that have been built and there are mismanagement on part of the rivers and you see that the dams over in Runacel which is actually if you see the map it just lies above Assam and when there is a lot of rain and water accumulates to a very high level then the dams are opened and it comes down directly to Brahmaputra and inundates the plains in Assam. So that has become one of the most important issue. The second thing is now the flood carries a lot of sleets. These sleets actually damages the crop fields and people are badly affected and also there is an issue of submersion of huge areas. Many villages, many townships have gone into the water of Brahmaputra and people have to migrate from one place to another in that sense. So it's getting worse and this time I think for the last 15 years in 2020 Assam is witnessing the worst flood. According to an Indian Central Water Commission bulletin most rivers in the state continue to be in spate. The Brahmaputra one of the largest rivers in the Indian subcontinent is the main contributor to the floods and has been running above the danger mark for months now. In an alert on July 21st the Central Water Commission said that the water level in Brahmaputra is expected to rise even more. The river had burst its bank two weeks ago swamping more than 2,500 villages in India. Golpara is the worst-hit district in Assam with over 453,000 people affected followed by 344,000 people in Bharpeta and 341,000 people in Murekau. Over 50,000 people who were displaced by floods have taken shelter at 521 relief camps. According to reports wildlife is also facing a serious threat in Assam as the Kazi Ranga National Park is completely flooded. The park is a UNESCO heritage site and it has the largest concentration of single horn rhinoceros as well as other animals.
