Description

Diarrhea is one of the main causes of death for children younger than five years of age. Flooding greatly  increases this risk:  An inundation analysis was performed in Dhaka city, Bangladesh, and we compared the analyzed data (maximum depth, duration, integrated depth) with the health data (morbidity, mortality)  that we had received  in slum area by Mollah et al. (2009). The final results do indicate that morbidity rate increases during the middle of the rainy season. Further more, the attribution of flooding condition to the diarrhea incidence also changed seasonally. Especially on the case of mortality, the deamination of correlation of beginning of rainy season was 2 times larger than the value of the end of rainy season.
