Climate change, flooding, urbanisation and leptospirosis: fuelling

Urbanisation can potentially magnify flooding intensity by ten-fold.58 Large cities are particularly prone to flooding owing to the combination of large paved, compacted or roofed areas that are more impermeable than vegetated land and generate more run-off. Furthermore, large urban areas can also cre ...
