The Boscastle flood of August 2004 was primarily caused by a combination of intense rainfall, which resulted in over 100 millimeters falling in just a few hours, and the geography of the area that facilitated rapid water runoff. The steep valley sides and the narrow river channel contributed to the quick accumulation of water. Additionally, the existing drainage systems were overwhelmed, leading to significant flooding in the village. Poor land management and urban development in the surrounding areas may have exacerbated the situation by reducing natural water absorption.
