Why does flooding occur in North Dakota?
Flooding occurs in North Dakota due to large amounts of snowfall, not just in North Dakota but also in Montana. Add to that lots of rain, and the flooding increases. Since the land in North Dakota is flat, it takes the rivers longer to move the water and contributes to the flooding. Floods can occur when rivers and streams run over their banks. Although made to prevent floods from happening, dams and levees that experience breakage can also cause flooding. Earthen dams are susceptible to breakage when the soil loosens. Levees, used to hold back large bodies of water, are historically known to suffer from excessive water spilling over the top. States including North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oklahoma are prime suspects of when water overflows dams, levees, rivers and streams.
