Best Answer

Certain diseases can be spread due to standing water (such as malaria). Malaria is spread through heavy rain by insects that lay their eggs in water. Mosquitos lay their eggs in water, the eggs hatch and the quantity of the insect increases. This makes it more likely for individuals in the area to be bitten and infected by the disease.
