The causes of floods in China

Flood happens when there is excess water and overflows to mainland.

There are two types of cause of floods: Natural And Human

Rainfall in China increases every once a while. This will cause water level to rise and flood the main lands.

Human Cause of flood in China:

• Blockage of water channels

Damms and other things could block a water flow which causes floods. Rubbish and solid waste does the same effect.

•  Deforestation

When people cut down trees, the roots could not store water which then excess water will flow to rivers. These will cause the water level to rise.

• High population
