Feedback

1

Heavy rainfall raises river levels beyond capacity, causing overflow.

2

A river flood occurs when rivers overflow their banks, often after sustained rain.

3

Flash floods arise from intense rain over short periods with rapid water accumulation.

4

Urban areas with abrupt topography and drainage can flood quickly.

5

Raising utilities minimizes water damage when flooding occurs.

6

Forecasts and alerts enable early evacuation and precautions.

7

Physical barriers like levees reduce downstream flood risk.

8

Blocked or slow drainage increases water accumulation on surfaces.

9

Wetlands store floodwaters; permeable surfaces reduce runoff.

10

Floods often force people to evacuate due to unsafe conditions.
