Floods
They can be different
They can also be flash
They're more dangerous and they happen suddenly
Most of them develop graduallly
They're predictable and not very dangerous
The flood effects are dangerous and positive
They can be dangerous in a flash flood
They can destroy house and business
Sometimes they kill people
They cut off transport and electric lines
They're positive in dry areas
Because they can make the soil very fertile
The water can be contained in reservoirs for a dry period in the future
There are different causes
The main one is a lack of maintenance at local level
No cleaning of river beds
No streghtening of river banks
Too much deforestation
Too many buildings next to rivers
Floods are natural disasters and they occur because water covers dry areas suddenly and wildly.
By Lorenzo Tognetti
There are a lot of solutions to prevent their damages
Conserving natural environment
Limiting costruction on floodplains
Protecting coastal and riverbanks areas
Warning people to get them ready for the flood
