Abstract:
This review was meant to analyse the causes, impact, management and the effect of floods on the socio-economic development of the people. It was found out that floods affected the wellbeing of people and animals and they led to the destruction of a lot of property. Most of the floods were caused by torrential rains and they were affecting the social well being of people. Most of the households live in fear and do not usually associate with their colleagues especially at night. The government needs to evacuate people from vulnerable areas, Install early warning systems and the farmers should use sustainable land management practices in their agricultural fields such as agroforestry, digging of trenches and check dams to reduce on the runoffs.
