A villager rows a boat past huts submerged in flood waters in Bhakatpur, some 75 km (46 miles) of Guwahati, in the northern Indian state of Assam, July 29, 2007. With floodwater pouring in through their windows, thousands of people affected by South Asia's deadly deluge are being forced to share the limited high ground with venomous snakes, surrounded by filthy water. In India, at least 15 people have drowned in the eastern state of Bihar, a disaster management official said, describing it as the worst flood there in 30 years. Adjacent West Bengal state reported another three deaths.
