When too much rain falls, lakes and rivers overflow and the surrounding, low lying land is covered by the excess water this is a flood.

Flooding causes damage to homes, business and can cause people and animals to drown. It can also cause erosion as slopes become saturated and the escaping water erodes banks. On the positive side the floods deposit new rich soil on the land which makes it fertile.
