Dangerous Floods &Flooding

The most frequently occurring natural disasters are watercourse and coastal flooding and are rising in episode more rapidly than any other disaster. The capacity of the earth to hold excess water reduces due to Urbanization and deforestation. 




Floods, one time merely known as "acts of God" are being quickly improved by the works of humans.

In a few regions of the world, flooding is caused by extreme rainwater, such as monsoons, even as in further parts of the earth, flooding can be caused outside of the rainy season while snowstorm and ice being to melt in the mountains. That thaw water flows downstream and cause flooding.

Those areas which are mainly at risk for floods contain low-lying areas, coastal regions, and communities on rivers downstream from dams.
