The – It is well known that “FLOODS ARE ACTS OF GOD, BUT FLOOD LOSSES ARE LARGELY ACTS OF MAN.” We are all living in the 21st century and are on the edge of rapidly increasing population. The population on Earth has increased from 1 billion to 7 billion in the previous 3 centuries and is still on the verge of increasing with no signs of reducing by any means. The increasing number of population leads to their shelter and there shelter causes and affects the environment in indefinite number of ways. A house can cost someone in some bucks, but it costs the environment of Mother Nature more than any other resources. Having knowledge of all these the human being has got no plans to stop, But in the end it all comes back in some or the other ways. Nature always treats you in response, the same way you do. Harms to nature costs Flood, Earthquakes, Hurricanes, tsunamis and other geological natural disasters. The First thing that gets destroyed in these disasters are Habitats. Yes, be it Human or other species the habitat of a human being lies around homes, and these are the first target by the disasters. The Indian Continental alone has spent a total of 3.9 B dollars in the 65 yrs. of its independence, only when the skies cursed. It is a basic need to encounter the problem of losses due to floods, and as said in the phrase the flood losses are largely and solely the act of man itself.
