Management of Water - Coggle Diagram

- - - - A long period of little to no rainfall in a specific area. (Could possibly last for months to even years. This affects some areas as they would then get drier then before) Possibly be enough water available to replenish the amount used for human activities or lost thru evaporation & transpiration. This causes water stores to dry up. (ei. reservoirs & groundwater)
    - - An overflow of a large amount of water onto dry land (generally).
        
        River floods
        
        are caused by sustained heavy rainfall or meltwater produced when snow and ice start to melt in the spring season. the larger amounts of rainwater and meltwater and meltwater enter streams and tributaries, which then flow into rivers. the water level would then rise and overflow the surrounding areas, allowing flooding to accur.
        
        Flash floods
        
        are caused by exceptionally heavy rainfalll over a short period of time, as its name suggests. flash floods usually occur in dry areas where there isn’t much more soil or vegetation to allow rainwater to infiltrate the ground. Henry why most of the rainwater falling onto the ground becomes surface runoff.
