Component 1: Hazards and vulnerabilities

Water-related health hazards

  • Pesticides
  • Water-borne bacteria
  • Vectors

Define the flood dependent health hazards

  • What, when and where are the pathogens, vectors and pollutants?
  • What are the favourable environmental conditions for their development, accumulation and dissemination?

Activity 1: Pesticides

Presence of pesticides depending on flood conditions and locations

Objectives:
  • Screen pesticides in water compartments (river, canals, rice fields, ponds, groundwater), in sediments and vegetation
  • Understand the fate of pesticides (origin, circulation, accumulation)
  • Assess the concentration of possibly toxic pesticides

Activity 2: water borne-bacteria​

Burden of neglected diseases due to Leptospira, Burkholderia & other bacteria

Objectives:

  • Identify the bacterial species present and their spatial and temporal distribution
  • Define their dynamics linked with flood / pollutants conditions

Activity 3: mosquito vectors

Medical entomology study on vector-borne diseases and associated species (called vectors)

Objectives:
  • Identify the mosquito species present and their spatial and temporal distribution
  • Define their dynamics linked with flood conditions
  • Define the effect of pesticides on the distribution of vector species and their resistance to insecticides
