A flood is a natural disaster that occurs when a large amount of water overflows onto normally dry land. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and storm surges. Cities around the world are particularly susceptible to flooding due to their dense populations and extensive infrastructure. One of the major causes of flooding in cities is poor urban planning. Many cities were built in low-lying areas near rivers or coastlines, making them more susceptible to flooding. Additionally, the construction of buildings and roads can disrupt the natural flow of water, leading to increased flooding during heavy rainstorms.
