A flood is caused by a combination of heavy rainfall. causing river / oceans to over flow their banks, and can. happen at any time of the year, not just in the winter. Floods generally develop over a period of. days, when there is too much rainwater to fit. in the rivers and water spreads over the land.
Why does the water table rise? In the UK, the main cause of rising water tables is unusually high levels of rainfall. When this happens, the water table overloads and rises through the permeable substrates, forcing itself onto the surface. The disruption can be catastrophic; homes being flooded, sewage pipes overflowing and even backing up into households â creating safety hazards and a severe risk of infection.
