Abstract
The study of the flood-waters revealed that the breach of irrigation channels due to heavy downpour, triggered the floods, as the first flood-waters largely contained characteristic riverine fauna. Later on, the riverine fauna was outnumbered by pond fauna indicating the overflow from ponds, adding to the amount of flood-waters. The flood-waters play a significant role in the distribution of animals in general and vectors in particular. The chief vectors included Cyclops, Lymnaea, Planorbis and five genera of fishes. Pockets of stagnant flood-water provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes to create a future nuisance. The faunal study of flood-waters offers a proof to their origin, which otherwise requires a manual survey.
