we can look at some interesting facts about rivers and roads worldwide. Rivers cover about 3.5% of the Earth's surface ¹. There are 165 major rivers in the world, and the longest river, the Nile, stretches for approximately 6,650 kilometers ². On the other hand, the total length of roads worldwide is estimated to be around 64 million kilometers ³. The United States alone has over 6 million kilometers of paved roads, while Canada has around 1.3 million kilometers ³. So, while there are many rivers, the total length of roads is significantly greater.
The development of urban areas along streams and rivers often increases impervious surfaces, such as roads and buildings, which prevents water from being absorbed into the ground. During heavy rainfall, this leads to faster runoff and higher peak discharge rates in waterways, increasing the risk of flooding. Additionally, urbanization can alter natural drainage patterns, causing water to flow more rapidly into streams and rivers. Consequently, these changes amplify the impact of heavy rainfall events, resulting in more frequent and severe flooding.

Rivers can get in the way when people are building homes, bridges, or roads. Often people will build dams to divert the river if it is in the way.
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.
