of floods. The level of water in rivers or
lakes rises due to heavy rainfalls. When the
level of water rises above the river banks or
dams, the water starts overflowing, which
causes floods. The water overflows to the
areas adjoining to the rivers, lakes or dams,
causing floods or deluge. The flood water
causes great destruction in the areas where
it flows. Floods occur more in the regions
that get heavy rainfall.
