WEEK SIX-FLOODING<\/strong>
\n\t\tFlood is defined as an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry. Flooding occurs when a part of the soil or land is submerged under water. Some part of the land are prone to flooding, this is due to the soil structure
\nTypes of Flooding
\n<\/strong>Flash floods- This occurs within a very short time and it usually as a result of heavy rain.
\nRapid On-set Floods-This type of takes longer time to accumulate and the flood can last for a day or two days.
\nSlow On-set Floods \u2013This is caused by water bodies overflowing their banks, it develops slowly and can last for days and weeks.
\nDrainage Pattern-This is a system of water course or drains for carrying off excess water. The drainage pattern in a city or town may be blocked by refuse when rain fall and water cannot flow freely in the blocked drainage.
\nTypes of Drainage Pattern
\n-parallel drainage pattern
\n-Rectangular drainage pattern
\n-Dendritic drainage pattern
\n-Radial drainage pattern
\nCauses of Flooding
\n<\/strong>-Presence of impervious rock deep the soil which will not permit water to pass through them.
\n-Heavy downpour of rain
\n-Blockage of drainages
\n-Overflowing of water from the dam
\n-Natural disaster such as tsunami, earthquake and hurricane which cause disturbance to the oceans to cause flood.
\n-Flood can occur as a long period of rainlessness as the soil will not absorb the water.
\n-The melting of ice when the subsoil is still frozen.
\n-Absence of gutters on either side of the roads.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Prevention of Flood
\n<\/strong>-Construction of canals or drainages by government or individuals in an area with impervious rock layers surface.
\n-Proper drainage of rivers especially where dams are built.
\n-Prevention of buildings or construction of roads, houses etc. across canals, drainages and water course.
\n-Erection of walls along banks of river, sea and oceans to prevent tidal waves from pushing water up shore.
\n-Planting of trees, shrubs and grasses as this will help in breaking the power of moving floods and also reduce erosion.
\n-Public should be enlightened about the danger of flood and what should be done to minimize the occurrence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Effects of Flood
\n<\/strong>-It damages houses other valuable properties.
\n-It can lead to loss of lives in most cases.
\n-It can increase the spread of disease due to contamination to water bodies.
\n-It makes soil infertile by removing soil nutrients.
\n-It reduces the available land for cultivation.
