Question
What are the causes of floods?
Solution
Floods can also be caused due to:
i. a storm surge (in the coastal areas),
ii. high intensity rainfall for a considerably longer time period,
iii. melting of ice and snow,
iii. reduction in the infiltration rate and
v. presence of eroded material in the water due to higher rate of soil erosion.
