Floods are the most regular kind of cataclysmic event and
happen when a flood of water lowers land that is typically dry. Floods are in
many cases brought about by weighty rainfall, quick snowmelt or a tempest flood
from a typhoon or wave in waterfront regions.
Why
flood is known as a disaster?
Floods are the most well-known and broad of all climate
related disasters. They can straighten homes and pulverize entire networks,
abandoning a long path of obliteration. Floods are basically as disastrous as
typhoons, tidal waves and tremors; they can demolish occupations and remove
everything.
