What are the causes of a flood?
During a flood, people should move themselves and their most precious belongings to higher ground quickly. The process of leaving homes in search of a safe place is called evacuation. Floods occur at irregular intervals and vary in size, duration and the affected area.
Water naturally flows from high areas to low lying areas. This means low-lying areas may flood quickly before it begins to get to the higher ground.
Floods can also occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders in the waterway.
Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are in the natural flood plains of rivers.
The following factors can lead to flooding:
Rains
Whenever there are more rains than the drainage system can take, they can cause floods.
River overflow
Rivers can overflow their banks to cause a flood. This can happen when there is more water upstream than usual, and as it flows downstream to the adjacent low-lying areas there is a burst and water gets into the land.
Strong winds in coastal areas
Seawater can be carried by massive winds and hurricanes onto the dry coastal lands and cause flooding. This is made worse if the winds carry rains with themselves. Sometimes water from the sea resulting from a tsunami can flow inland to cause damage.
Dam breaking
Dams are man-made structures mounted to hold water flowing down from a highland to a lowland. The power in the water is used to turn propellers to generate electricity. Sometimes, too much water held up in the dam can cause it to break and cause overflow in the area.
Excess water can also be intentionally released from the dam to prevent it from breaking and that can also cause floods.
Ice and snow melts
In cold regions, heavy snow over the winter usually stays unmelted for some time. Some mountains have an ice cap on them. Sometimes the ice suddenly melts when the temperature rises, resulting in massive movement of water into places that are usually dry. This is usually called a snowmelt flood.
Urban Flooding
Urban flooding is the inundation of land or property in a built environment, particularly in more densely populated areas, caused by rainfall overwhelming the capacity of drainage systems, such as storm sewers. Although sometimes triggered by events such as flash flooding or snowmelt, urban flooding is a condition, characterized by its repetitive and systemic impacts on communities, that can happen regardless of whether or not affected communities are located within designated floodplains or near any body of water.
What are the effects of a flood?
The most immediate effect of a flood is the catastrophic loss of life and destruction of buildings and other structures like bridges, sewerage systems, canals etc.
Floods also damage power transmission and sometimes power generation along loss of drinking water treatment and water supply Lack of clean water combined with human sewage in the flood waters raises the risk of waterborne diseases, which can include typhoid, cholera and many other diseases depending upon the location of the flood.
Flood waters typically inundate farm land, making the land unworkable and preventing crops from being planted or harvested, which can lead to shortages of food both for humans and farm animals.
Entire harvests for a country can be lost in extreme flood circumstances. Some tree species may not survive prolonged flooding of their root systems.
Secondary and long-term effects
Economic hardship due to a temporary decline in tourism, rebuilding costs, or food shortages leading to price increases is a common after-effect of severe flooding.

Secondary and long-term effects
Economic hardship due to a temporary decline in tourism, rebuilding costs, or food shortages leading to price increases is a common after-effect of severe flooding.
Environmental Effects of Flooding
Environmental impacts of floods and flood defence measures have only been addressed relatively recently. From the environmental point of view, floods are natural events, which bring both adverse and beneficial environmental effects. Seasonal flooding of the environment is a natural feedback mechanism serving to replenish floodplains and sustain their ecosystems. However, in most major major river basins, this natural feedback has been modified by humans, through catchment development, implementation of flood management projects and most recently climate change.
Flood destruction is instantaneous. Lives are lost, belongings are destroyed and crops are destroyed when rural areas are affected. Flooding does collateral harm, interferes with economic operations and does a lack of food. The consequences of floods on the value of land can lead to a decline in real estate value in areas that appear to experience flooding issues. There would be regions that are more vulnerable to flood problems. The flood issues in these areas improve their already deteriorated status.
Positive Effects of Floods
In the case of floods the results show the opposite cumulative effects; moderate floods have a positive impact on growth and severe floods a negative one. This is consistent with Fomby et al.’s finding that moderate floods have lasting positive effects on growth, while severe ones have a negative effect. They argue that moderate floods have a beneficial effect on growth through higher land productivity. However, the moderate floods have an initial negative effect, although not statistically significant.
The impact of deforestation and land use changes on the risk and severity of floods are the subjects of controversy. In evaluating the effect of Himalayan deforestation on the Ganges-Brahmaputra Lowlands, it was observed that, in the case of a severe weather occurrence, forests would not have stopped or greatly decreased floods. More general or outline research, however, agrees on the negative effects of deforestation on flood protection and the positive effects of wise land usage and reforestation.

Ken River and Betwa River
✍✍Ken River
The Ken River is one of the major rivers of the Bundelkhand region of central India, and flows through two states, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Its basin lies between north latitudes 23°20' and 25°20' and east longitudes of 78°30' and 80°32'.
The river originates near the Village Ahirgawan in Jabalpur District of M.P. at an altitude of 550m above mean sea level and joins the Yamuna River, near Chilla Village in U.P., at an elevation of about 95 m.
It forms the common boundary between Panna and Chhattarpur Districts of M.P. and state boundary between Chhattarpur District (M.P.) and Banda District (U.P.). The river has a total length of 427 km, out of which 292 km lies in M.P., 84 km in U.P, and 51 km forms the common boundary. The total catchment area of the Ken River basin is 28,058 sq. km, out of which 24,472 sq. km lies in Madhya Pradesh and the balance 3,586 sq. km in Uttar Pradesh.
Tributaries of Ken River: The important tributaries of the Ken River are Sonar, Bearma, Kopra, Bewas, Urmil, Mirhasan, Kutni, Kail, Gurne, Patan, Siameri, Chandrawal, Banne, etc., among others. The longest tributary is Sonar which is 227 km in length and lies wholly in M.P. In terms of catchment area also, Sonar is the largest tributary with a catchment area of 12,620 sq. km.
The Sonar sub-basin is located fully in Madhya Pradesh between north latitudes of 23°20' and 23°50' and east longitudes of 78°30' and 79°15'. It is a leaf shaped elongated catchment, with an average width of about 40 km. The Sonar basin is bounded by Bearma basin (a sub-basin of the Ken River) on the east side, by Dhasan basin (a sub-basin of Betwa River) on the west side and the Vindhyan ranges on the south. Sagar and Damoh are the major districts falling in this sub-basin and parts of Panna, Chattarpur and Raisen Districts also fall in the basin. The total catchment area of the Sonar basin is 6,550 sq. km. The major tributaries of Sonar are Bewas, Dehar, Kaith and Baink on the left bank and Kopra and Bearma on the right bank.
The Raneh Falls on the Ken river and Ken Ghariyal Sanctuary are tourist attractions. The rocks formed here present a spectacular view of different hues made of Granite, Dolomite and Quartz. Gangau Dam has been constructed at the confluence of the Ken and Simri rivers. The Ken River passes through Panna National Park.
✍✍Betwa or Betravati River
The Betwa or Betravati is a river in Northern India, and a tributary of the Yamuna. Also known as the Vetravati, the Betwa rises in the Vindhya Range just north of Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh and flows north-east through Madhya Pradesh and Orchha to Uttar Pradesh. Nearly half of its course, which is not navigable, runs over the Malwa Plateau.
Its basin extends from longitude 77° to 81° E and latitude 23°8' to 26°0' N. The Betwa River originates at an elevation of 470m in the Bhopal District in Madhya Pradesh. After traversing a distance of 590 km, the river joins the Yamuna River near Hamirpur at an elevation of 106.68 m. The total catchment area of the Betwa River is 46,580 sq. km of which 31,971 sq. km (68.64%) lies in Madhya Pradesh and 14,609 sq. km (31.36%) lies in Uttar Pradesh. The basin is saucer shaped with sandstone hills around the perimeter. The river has 14 principal tributaries out of which 11 are completely in Madhya Pradesh and 3 lie partly in Madhya Pradesh and Partly in Uttar Pradesh. The Halali and Dhasan Rivers are the important tributaries of the Betwa River. The Halali is the largest tributary having a length of 180.32 km. In the entire basin the rainfall varies from 100 cm to 140 cm in upper reaches and from 80 cm to 100 cm in lower reaches. The average annual rainfall in the Betwa basin is 110 cm.
The Betwa River is being linked with the Ken River as a part of the river linking project in Madhya Pradesh. Another noteworthy project on the Betwa River is the construction of the Matatila Dam, an undertaking between the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The region is important for migratory water birds.
