Floods occur when water bodies receive excessive water due to continued torrential rains. Normally dry lands may also get flooded when water overflows the banks of water bodies, or when there is heavy and continuous rainfall. Floods also occur in modern cities and towns where there is a high density of human population, and increased urban development by way of housing and other construction.
In such areas trees are also felled for construction activity. Poor drainage systems in modern cities also lead to flooding when there are continuous or heavy rains. Felling of trees leads to increased soil erosion, and silting of water bodies that also leads to flooding during heavy rains. Floods cause loss to life and property. Humans , animals and birds are likely to perish in a flood. Areas in coastal regions and near the banks of water bodies are at a higher risk during floods.
