Flooding is a natural event. It occurs when there is heavy rainfall that fills rivers and streams above their normal capacity, or if there are very high river or coastal tides that cause levels to rise or surge. The excess water that gathers cannot be restrained by normal boundaries such as a river embankment.
This means lowere laying areas are most at risk. Floods can also occur when rainwater collects on the ground and cannot find a drain.
