Runoff. If heavy rains arrive more quickly than the ground can absorb the water, you get runoff -- stormwater that "runs off" the land instead of seeping into the ground. Runoff can carry pollutants (like pesticides, oil, and yard waste) into nearby creeks, rivers, and lakes. Flooding & flash flooding. If enough rain falls into rivers and other bodies of water it can cause their water levels to rise and overflow onto normally dry land
. Mudslides. If rain is record-breaking (typically more rain in a few days than is normal over a month or year) the ground and soil can actually liquify and carry unsecured objects, people, and even buildings away in debris flows. This is exacerbated along hillsides and slopes since the ground there is more easily eroded away. Here in the U.S., mudslides are common in Southern California. They're also common in Europe and Asia, especially India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan where they often lead to death tolls in the thousands.....
