How the size of the flood is measured?
The size of a flood is typically measured in terms of the area it covers, the volume of water it carries, and the depth of water at various locations. Hydrologists use tools such as stream gauges, satellite imagery, and aerial surveys to assess the extent and severity of a flood. This information helps in determining the flood's impact and devising effective response strategies.
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a flood?
