Water Flooding

Water flooding refers to an overflow of water onto lands that are normally dry. It can occur due to heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or the overflow of rivers and lakes. Flooding can damage homes, infrastructure, and the environment, often leading to loss of life and displacement of communities. The severity of flooding can vary from minor inconvenience to catastrophic events. Floodplains are areas prone to flooding, and various measures, such as levees and flood warning systems, are used to manage and mitigate flood risks. Understanding local weather patterns and preparedness is key to minimizing the impact of floods.
