What is the difference between flood plain and water table?
A "flood plain" is the total area on either side of a river that will be covered with water when the river reaches it's maximum crest during a flood. A "water table" is the area under the surface of the ground where the water reservoir (underground well or aquifer) begins.
How does a flood become a flood?
A flood can occur when there is excessive rainfall, snowmelt, or a sudden release of water from a dam or levee. When the ground becomes saturated and cannot absorb any more water, the excess water flows over the surface, leading to flooding. Topography and human activities can also influence the severity and extent of flooding.
How did the cumbria flood start?
The Cumbria flood in 2009 was caused by heavy rainfall that overwhelmed rivers and drainage systems in the region. The prolonged and intense rainfall led to significant flooding across Cumbria, impacting homes, roads, and infrastructure. The flood was exacerbated by the already saturated ground from previous rainfall events.
Is a flood likely to occur over an area that has a high water table or a low water table?
A flood is more likely to occur over an area with a high water table. A high water table means that the ground is already saturated with water, which can lead to faster runoff and increased risk of flooding during heavy rainfall.
What does the depth mean in a flood?
The depth in a flood refers to the vertical measurement from the ground level to the surface of the floodwater. It indicates how high the water level has risen and can help in assessing the extent of flooding and potential impact on properties and infrastructure.

How does water turn into a flood?
Because it rains so much that there's too much water and the ground can't soak all of it in.
Why would it flood if there is a lot of rain and it goes down valleys fast?
Under normal conditions water flow in = water flow out. When abnormal conditions such as previously wet ground, no ground cover vegetation, an impediment to water flow in the valley exist the design conditions are exceeded and water backs up creating flood conditions.
What is the difference between flood plain and water table?
A "flood plain" is the total area on either side of a river that will be covered with water when the river reaches it's maximum crest during a flood. A "water table" is the area under the surface of the ground where the water reservoir (underground well or aquifer) begins.
Was gravity invented before the flood or after?
