economy and environment has increased remarkably. Flood disaster is a major threat to the environment and is responsible for the economic loss worldwide. Flood frequency, magnitude, extent and cost is accelerating quickly all over the world (Adjei-darko, 2017). A single major flood event can affect several countries simultaneously and can pressure on risk reduction and transfer (Jongman et al., 2014). According to the outcome of Aqueduct Global Flood Risk Analyzer launched by the US-based World Resource

This plays major role for the farmers who depend on rains for their living through farming. • Flood prevention There is situation where there is floods in one area and draught like experience in the other, this can be tackled and resolved with the help of river linking projects. The excess water flowing in the flood experiencing zones
not be possible without adequate supply of water. It is therefore not a surprise that water has occupied an important position in the activities of mankind. The fate of tribes and nations, cities and civilizations has been determined by drought or floods and by abundance or scarcity of water supply since from the earliest days of mankind. Thus there is a close relationship between water usage and modern civilization. With the advent of industrialization and urbanization, global water utilization has

The development of society, rich or poor, can be judged by the quality of its population’s health, how fairly health is distributed across the social spectrum, and the degree of protection provided from disadvantage due to ill-health.
