हर साल मॉनसून के दौरान असम में बाढ़ आती है। लेकिन इस साल यह संकट और बढ़ गया है, क्योंकि राज्य कई आपदाओं से एक साथ जूझ रहा है। राज्य में कोरोना के मामले लगातार बढ़ रहे हैं, जबकि तिनसुकिया में तेल के कुएं में 9 जून से लगी हुई आग अब तक नहीं बूझ पाई है। वहीं कई जगहों पर भूस्खलन के मामले में भी सामने आए हैं।

Heavy downpour has caused severe waterlogging in the northeastern city, which has an intricate network of rivers and beels (wetlands) that form its natural drainage system. But encroachment on water bodies has increased the incidence of urban flooding.

As of July 22, as many as 199 animals perished in the Kaziranga National Park, home to the world's largest population of one-horned rhinoceros. Experts feel the highlands in the park are not enough to house so many animals and the government should take measures to help these animals that suffer silently during floods, year after year, as the Park, situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra river, is prone to consistent floods

While Mumbai has already received 86 per cent of its annual rainfall, Marathwada region in Maharashtra has deficient rainfall of minus 25 per cent. Vadodara in Gujarat, which had minus 43 per cent rainfall departure, is now facing floods. In a changing climate, we must adapt to rainfall variations in the country.
