It is the wettest place on Earth, with an average annual rainfall of over 11,871 mm (467 in). The state is also hilly, with an average elevation of 1,400 m (4,600 ft). These two factors, combined with the state&#8217;s dense forests, make it particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, such as floods and landslides.<\/p>\n<p>Floods are a major problem in Meghalaya. The state is located in the Brahmaputra River basin, which is prone to flooding. In 2018, for example, floods affected over 200,000 people in Meghalaya. Landslides are also a major problem in the state. The hilly terrain and dense forests make the land unstable, and landslides are often triggered by heavy rains. In 2017, for example, landslides killed over 100 people in Meghalaya.<\/p>\n<p>These natural disasters pose a major challenge to development in Meghalaya. They damage infrastructure, disrupt livelihoods, and displace people. The state government is working to address these challenges, but they are difficult to overcome.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hilly terrain: The hilly terrain of Meghalaya makes it difficult to build infrastructure, such as roads and bridges.
