The floods can damage homes and crops, and they can also lead to loss of life. In recent years, there have been several major floods in Assam, which have caused widespread damage and displacement.<\/p>\n<p>The government of Assam has taken some steps to mitigate the impact of flooding. These steps include building embankments along the river, and improving drainage systems.
