The study aimed to identify the environmental effects of the floods of the Blue

snakes 39.7%, the spread of insects and mosquitoes 63%, flies 23.7%, malaria

machines, especially aircraft, to cover the largest area in the region, pay
attention to environmental health after floods, and dry up stagnant water with
