ANSWER
Humans cause and exacerbate flooding due to urban development, destruction of natural wetlands and deforestation. Urban development causes water runoff into streams during heavy rain, and this runoff causes higher flood peaks and more frequent floods.
Widespread cutting down of trees for fuel - This reduces the soil's ability to hold water - drying out the ground, triggering desertification and leading to drought. Constructing a dam on a large river - This may help provide electricity and water to irrigate farmland near the reservoir.
