Explanation:
Flood is a state of high water level along a river channel or on coast that leads to inundation of land which is normally submerged. River floodplains and coastal areas are the most hypersensitised to flooding; however, it is possible for flooding to occur in areas with unusually long periods of heavy rainfall. Bangladesh is the most flood prone area in the world. Bangladesh is vulnerable due to the prevalence of a monsoon season, which causes heavy rainfall.
Flood Prone Zones in India
The major flood prone regions in India are Punjab, Haryana, most of the Gangetic plains, including Uttar Pradesh, North Bihar and West Bengal, the Brahmaputra valley, coastal Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, and southern Gujarat. Now-a-days Kerala and Tamil Nadu also feel the fury of the floods. In September 2014, the Kashmir region witnessed disastrous floods across the majority of its districts caused by torrential rainfall across the Indian administrated Jammu and Kashmir. In June 2013, a multi-day cloudburst centred on the North Indian state Uttarakhand, caused devastating floods and landslides.
