Solution
Stagnant water in puddles is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Germs causing malaria are transmitted through mosquito bites from a patient to other people. The epidemic of such diseases will spread if mosquitoes are abundant. Therefore, to control infections of malaria and dengue, we should eradicate mosquitoes. Hence, we should not allow puddles of water to stand in our surroundings.
