More than one-third of all deaths from
natural disasters are caused by flooding. A flash
flood occurs when rain is very heavy, rivers break
their banks, or sewers quickly become
overwhelmed. More widespread devastation is
caused by broad-scale floods, in which water
builds up over a period of weeks. In the Indian
subcontinent, seasonal winds called monsoons
bring torrential rain every summer. During severe
floods, buildings are often ruined and people may
be drowned. When torrential rain combines with
high tides and strong winds, those living near
a coastline are, particularly at risk. Heavy rain can
bring another problem – landslides. When large
volumes of water mix with soil, the result is
a thick liquid that can slip down a hillside,
burying anything in its path.
