Abstract
Examining the impact of floods on agriculture, livestock and infrastructure have often been recommended as an international research paradigm. This study is grounded in the Pakistani rural region to evaluate the impact of floods on agriculture, livestock and infrastructure. Floods are a worldwide issue. Based on the previous research studies, this study hypothesized that floods cast a positive impact on agriculture, livestock and infrastructure. By using the sample of 381 households, data was gathered using a cross-sectional method. The responses were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social sciences (SPSS). The SPSS was used for descriptive analysis. The findings of the study unveil that the floods had a significant impact on agriculture, livestock and infrastructure. As the result shows that floods are the key determinant that impact on agriculture, livestock and infrastructure, hence it is recommended to the policy makers to develop appropriate strategies and make dams to save water and improve the canal system in Pakistan that focused on the development of the nation.
