Hydrology of a Flood
Greater urbanization, combined with global warming, has led to an increase in flooding and flash flooding. How do we compete with increased flooding? Preparedness.
The Water Cycle
The rise in global temperature has one of the most significant impacts on the water cycle. It causes a greater capacity for air moisture, which leads to greater amounts and frequency of precipitation. These precipitation increases, combined with ill-preparedness for extreme weather, leave our world vulnerable to the destructive and catastrophic damage caused by flooding.
Types of Floods
A flood is an overflow of water that causes a usually dry area of land to be submerged. Floods cause property damage, when they penetrate buildings or structures, or damage equipment or property that is in the path of the flooding (ie. Roads, landscaping, cars, etc).
Changes to Weather Patterns and Flooding
Changing weather patterns, resulting in increasingly less stable weather patterns and flooding, is a hot topic being discussed nowadays. Excessive precipitation has been observed in many countries, whereas some regions are experiencing drier weather and droughts.
