2015 Myanmar floods
Severe flooding in Myanmar began in July 2015 and continued into September, affecting 12 of the country's fourteen states and resulting in about 103 deaths〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Myanmar flooding leaves nearly 100 people dead, with about a million others affected )〕 and up to 1,000,000 people otherwise affected. Most of the casualties were reported from the Irrawaddy Delta. Torrential rains that began on 16 July destroyed farmland, roads, rail tracks, bridges and houses, leading the government to declare a state of emergency on 30 July in the four worst-hit regions in the west—Magway Division, Sagaing Division, Chin State and Rakhine State.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Myanmar flooding leaves dozens dead )〕
Myanmar's Ministry of Agriculture reported that more than 1.29 million acres of farm land have been inundated and 687,200 acres damaged. Moreover, 15,239 houses were destroyed, according to OCHA figures.〔
==Background==
Beginning on 16 July 2015, unusually heavy monsoon rain poured into Myanmar, causing rivers and creeks to overflow with rainwater and flooding low lying areas around waterways. By August, the flooding was the worst to affect the country for decades. In addition to the higher-than-average rainfall, mismanagement of irrigation projects and deforestation caused by logging have been cited by U Win Myo Thu, head of environmental organization EcoDev, as contributing to the flooding. Cyclone Komen, which struck in late July, also made the situation worse.
