520 _aExtreme rain events may lead to sewer overflows which when mixes with surface and drinking water contaminate and increases the level of pathogen concentration in it. This poses a great risk to public health especially when individuals are exposed to contaminated water resulting in water - borne infectious diseases, which is a global challenge. However, it is still unclear the extent to which the infections pose a risk to public health. Th is study analysed flooding and reported diarrhoea cases in Sukhumvit, Thailand. The results showed a close relationship between diarrhoea and rainfall events. An average of 575 more diarrhoea cases was reported during wet months as compared to dry months w ith population - based incidence rates of 809 cases per 100,000 people. The study further looked into the land - cover change in the area for the years 1988, 2002 and 2015 using Landsat images obtained from USGS website. The results depicted the highest change happened in 1988 - 2002 with an increase of urban areas from 1533 ha to 2453 ha and vegetation decreased from 1873ha to 964 ha. The rate of change was - 3.5% for vegetation cover and 4.3% for urban areas during the period 1988 - 2002. Vegetation cover decrease d continuously up to 2015 to 605 ha with urban areas increasing continuously to 2824 ha. The study used 1D Hydrodynamic Advection - Dispersion model to simulate the dispersion of faecal coliform concentration in the drainage network. The results depict high er concentrations for dry weather flows and a large dilution of concentration on onset of a rainfall event resulting in drop of the concentration. This is due to the large amounts of runoff generated. The study further coupled 1D/2D Hydrodynamic Advection - Dispersion model to simulate the overland flow along the streets. The results present maximum flood depth of 0.478m, 118 minutes maximum flood duration and 1 . 74 *10^ 5 MPN/100ml concentration of faecal coliform. Most of the areas indicate low hazard of infe ction from waterborne pathogens. During non - peak hours the general risk in most areas is low since the number of people along the streets is low whereas d uring peak hours the risk in most areas is medium with some parts recording high risk
