Abstract

Climate-related extreme weather events impinge on human life and assets in various ways wherein their contributions to the transmission of water-associated diseases introduce additional hurdles on our efforts to control them. This article examines the impacts of extreme weather events on water-associated diseases using examples from the Kerala flood of 2018, and its impact on the microbial pollution in Vembanad lake and coastal regions of Kerala, using in-situ and remote sensing-based monitoring of water quality, models, and digital platforms. The article also discusses capacity building initiatives such as citizen science, awareness building, and training programmes for supporting efforts to control the outbreaks of epidemics during extreme weather conditions
