What comes first Flood or the rise of the water table?
A flood comes before the rise of the water table. The rise of the water table is a gradual rising of the areas that are actually under water all year round. A flood is a sudden rise in the water level.
How high can a flood get?
A flood can go as high as the land and water allow. There is no limit to the rise of flood waters because a flood is not a controlled event.
Where is flood more likely to occur?
Floods can occur almost anywhere, especially in the pivotal United States. As well they can span over areas of any size. Beside the fact that near some bodies of water there is dry weather, there is still a chance that flooding may occur. Mainly places that are low-lying, are near water, or are downstream from a dam are some of the most likely areas where flooding can occur, which it can be dangerous out there near the untamed water. So if your home insurance does not cover flooding, do not buy a plot near any source of abundant water.
