Flood is such a natural disaster which comes due to excessive rainfall in the rainy season. Due to excessive rainfall, when the water storage in rivers exceeds the capacity, then the water rises above the river bank or breaks it and spreads to the nearby areas. This situation is called flood.

The major causes of floods are:

  1. Above average annual rainfall or excess rainfall in a short period of time.
  2. More melting of snow rivers, 3. construction of dams, barrages and dams and 4. The release of a large amount of water into a river by neighbouring countries like Nepal. etc.
