human factors One of the human factors of the flooding is that the town of Tewkesbury is built on a flood plain, this is the flat area that naturally floods at certain times of year. Another human cause of flooding is that rain water easily absorbs into materials like sand, but it is much harder to soak into man-made building materials like concrete and stone buildings. Another is that there was a lot of extra rainfall before the floods started, and this can easily block drains with leaves and debris, meaning that there is nowhere for the water to go. some of the physical and climatic factors of the Tewkesbury floods were that global warming affected the jet stream meaning that our British summer weather arrived later than normal, we had lots of rain because of that. Also Tewksbury is naturally a very low lying part of the countryside meaning that it floods easily, it is also as the confluence of two rivers (the Avon and Severn) meaning that there is a lot of water passing close by to the town, this is yet another risk of flooding. The extra rainfall contributed a lot to the floods that Tewkesbury suffered, it meant that there was a lot of extra water being carried in the rivers passing by, they couldn't contain so much water and subsequently overflowed into the area of floodplain that happened to have been built on.
hope this helps :3
What else can I help you with?
What caused the flood in tewkesbury?
God. I presume you mean Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, UK. The Rivers Severn and Avon meet at Tewkesbury, and the whole area is subject to floods every Winter, in which a few houses in Tewkesbury and elsewhere get flooded. The flood of July 2007 was in Summer, but followed a huge burst of rain in the upper Severn, which you could call an Act of God, others might say that it is just one manifestation of increasingly stormy weather patterns due to global warming. That flood of 2007 was execptionally high, thankfully the district seldom floods so high.

Why did so few people die in tewskbury floods June 2007?
Reasonable warning (at least some hours) of the likely flood gave the people of Tewkesbury time to prepare and move or sandbag as necessary, though many homes were flooded, and some people still haven't been able to move back into their homes because of damp problems. The two people in Tewkesbury died actually after the flood had somewhat subsided. They were a father and son, stalwarts of the local football club, who were trying to pump out the cellar of the club with a petrol-driven pump. They were overcome by fumes from the faulty pump.
