A flood is simply an event where water overflows a natural area and covers normally dry places.In general, there are two types.11.　　　The soil in these areas can’t absorb a lot of moisture.The water then rapidly runs off the surface resulting in a torrent (激流) of rapidly moving water.River flooding is when a river overflows its banks due to excessive (过多的) water and the situation can get worse if barriers such as a dam or levee (防洪堤) break as well.
A flood can be caused by many things.12.　　　 Living next to a river, a dam, on the coast, or in a low lying area puts you at risk for flooding.
There is no specific flood season.13.　　　 Any time there is a large amount of rain in a short period, flooding can happen.Man made and natural disasters can also cause flooding outside of those months.14.
　　　 A natural disaster, such as a tsunami, can also cause flooding on a massive scale.
15.　　　 Using existing maps and examining low lying areas can determine high risk areas for flooding.Moreover, flood warnings are sent out to areas that could experience flooding when there is a large amount of rainfall over a short time.
A.They include severe weather, geography, and other man made factors. B.Floods can be preventable and predictable. C.Flash floods are more common in dry areas. D.For example, the collapse of a dam can cause a flood. E.Generally, the period from spring to fall is considered a time of high flood risk.
