This has affected people that drink from it by making them sick. The annual flood has pros and cons. The cons are it makes the soil rich and fertile. The cons are it kills people and livestock. Solutions: For the flood I think they should get better flood warning to tell when a flood comes. For the water bourn diseases there is only one solution but it is expensive, it is a desalination plant.
