Why Flooding Causes Destruction
Floods are the most common type of natural cycle. The water that comes from the rain and waterfall land that is usually dry but because it has been raining so much the rivers have overflowed the waterfalls and they are getting onto the road and streets. And the rubbish is a big concern to our flooding because it washes the rubbish into the drains and stops the water from flowing normally.
Did you know In general, two or three inches of rain per hour onto the street makes it flood. Yet if eight to ten inches pours down in an hour or two, roads usually are flooding and cause overflowing. When it floods the rubbish gets stuck on the fences and leaves lots of mess on the fences.
The problems the floods create
Floodings can cause lots of damage to our properties and also farms like damaging houses, blocking off roads, streets and rivers slip onto the roads, cars floating away, people drowning, and many more bad things to our countries.
How can people solve or reduce the problem of flooding?
Better flood warning systems, modify homes and businesses to help them withstand floods, construct buildings above flood levels and clean out gutters and clean out strims for water to flow normal and fast in the drains. People can also stop littering because the rubbish gets stuck in the drains and streams and blokes off all of the flowing water so it can not flow like normal.
Did you know even six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet, and a depth of two feet will float your car. If you don't want your house or farm to flood then clean out every drain or strims and gutters you have on your property need to be cleaned out when it floods so it doesn't overflow and destroy anything. So it would be a really good idea to clean out all of your drains before a heavy rain.
