Flooding in the Ganges Basin * Less interception of rain fall by vegetation cover. Positive impact of flooding in Ganges/Brahmaputra river basin Regular annual flooding is essential to people who live on the flood plain of these rivers, the farming season is planned around the floods, rice is a main crop and requires large quantities of water.eforestation in many parts of the river basin, e.g. Nepal, Bhutan and Northern India. This is a result of population growth (more wood is needed for cooking and heating.

- Rapid snow melt can bring more water into the hydrological system than can be adequately drained, leading to what is generally called spring floods. Heavy rainfall during the a tropical rainy season can lead to monsoon floods, which can affect rivers and may also occur as flash flooding.

Ganges Only the Amazon and Congo rivers have a greater average discharge than the combined flow of the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Surma-Meghna river system. In full flood only the Amazon is larger.

- Anywhere it rains, it can flood. A flood is a general and temporary condition where two or more acres of normally dry land or two or more properties are inundated by water or mudflow. Many conditions can result in a flood: hurricanes, overtopped levees, outdated or clogged drainage systems and rapid accumulation of rainfall.

- Floods are natural events. They mainly happen when the river catchment, (that is the area of land that feeds water into the river and the streams that flow into the main river) receives greater than usual amounts of water (for example through rainfall or melting snow).

Sediment and Suspended Sediment The sediment may build up on the bottom or it may get picked up and suspended again by swift-moving water to move further downstream. So what does this have to do with people? On the positive side, sediment deposited on the banks and flood plains of a river is often mineral-rich and makes excellent farmland. The fertile floodplains of the Nile in Egypt and of the Mississippi River in the United States have flooding rivers to thank for their excellent soils. On the negative side, when rivers flood, they leave behind many tons of wet, sticky, heavy, and smelly mud—not something you would want in your basement.

Levee Broad at the base, they taper to a level top, where temporary embankments or sandbags can be placed. Because flood discharge intensity increases in levees on both river banks, and because silt deposits raise the level of riverbeds, planning and auxiliary measures are vital.

Flood Ready Flood Warning Website The FloodReady Website is a network of stream gauges across Lycoming County which helps residents track the water levels in our creeks and river, current rain fall information, and history of flooding at various gauges. This site gives near real time readings and helps residents prepare in the event of flooding.

ArticlesEgypt Without the Nile River, all of Egypt would be desert. Only about an inch (2.5 centimeters) of rain falls throughout Egypt each year. But each summer, the river rises because of rains at its source far to the south in Ethiopia. Floods cover the river's valleys, leaving sediments needed for trees, plants, and crops to grow.

- The Town Lake dam system in Tempe is rated to safely pass the 200-year flood event flow rate of approximately 210,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The gauges at Priest Dr. and Curry Rd. account for the water passing through Tempe Town Lake. Anyone can monitor the water flow in current time by clicking on Salt River at Priest Dr. and Indian Bend Wash at Curry Rd.

Urban pluvial flooding and climate change: London (UK), Rafina (Greece) and Coimbra (Portugal) The likelihood (i.e. hazard) of pluvial flooding occurring is higher in urban areas due to the high proportion of tarmacked and paved surfaces, which limit water infiltration and increase the amount of water running off the ground surface as well as it’s speed.

- Flooding occurs naturally; however, some floods are extreme and we must reduce their severity and impacts. An example of flood mapping - Bass River, southern Victoria. We determine flood risk across Melbourne by identifying the extent of flooding under different scenarios. These scenarios include floods of varying severity and likelihood, ranging from floods that have only a 1% chance of occurring in a year, to those with a 20% chance of occurring.

Flash flood Flash flooding occurs when it rains rapidly on saturated soil or dry soil that has poor absorption ability. The runoff collects in gullies and streams and, as they join to form larger volumes, often forms a fast flowing front of water and debris.lash flooding occurs when it rains rapidly on saturated soil or dry soil that has poor absorption ability.

Flooding of the Nile Most of this rainwater is taken by the Blue Nile and by the Atbarah River into the Nile, while a less important amount flows through the Sobat and the White Nile into the Nile.

- Also, as a river builds up its levees and raises itself over the floodplain, the slope and the transport power of the stream decrease, the channel fills gradually with sediment, and finally (often during a flood) the river will breach its levee (this process is called avulsion) and follow a steeper path down the valley.

- Flooding. On the day of the flood, about 75mm of rain fell in two hours-the same amount that normally falls in the whole of August. Huge amounts of water from this sudden downpour flowed into two rivers, the Valency and Jordan (which flows into the Valency just above Boscastle).

Types of flood and flooding impact Fluvial Flooding Impact: Cornwall Flowroute™ is used to predict the depth, duration, velocity and extent of flooding and is highly accurate. The images below compare fluvial flood risk modelled for Lostwithiel in Cornwall against aerial photography of an actual flooding event at that location in 2010.

Flooding and communicable diseases fact sheet Flooding is associated with an increased risk of infection, however this risk is low unless there is significant population displacement and/or water sources are compromised. Of the 14 major floods which occurred globally between 1970 and 1994, only one led to a major diarrhoeal disease outbreak-in Sudan, 1980.his was probably because the flood was complicated by population displacement. Floods in Mozambique in January-March 2000 led to an increase in the incidence of diarrhoea and in 1998, floods in West Bengal led to a large cholera epidemic (01,El Tor, Ogawa).
