After a heavy rainfall or snowmelt, discharge in rivers and streams typically increases due to the influx of water from surface runoff and direct precipitation. This rapid rise in discharge can lead to flooding, as the water volume exceeds the channel's capacity. Over time, as the rainwater or melted snow drains away, discharge gradually decreases, returning to normal levels. The rate and duration of these changes depend on factors like soil saturation, land use, and topography.

How will climate change cause flooding?

Due to global warming the world will heat up thus causing the polar ice caps to melt increasing sea levels and therefore flood risks. Also due to the heat that gets trapped in the atmosphere there is more evaporation of moisture which latter turns into heavy rainfall.


What is the water discharge for river ganges?

The average water discharge of the Ganges River varies significantly along its length and throughout the year, but it is generally around 30,000 cubic meters per second (m³/s) at its delta. During the monsoon season, this discharge can increase dramatically, sometimes exceeding 100,000 m³/s. The flow is influenced by seasonal rainfall, glacial melt, and tributary contributions, making it one of the largest rivers in terms of discharge in the world.
