Why does flash floods occur the most in urban areas?
Flash floods occur most in urban areas due to the high concentration of impermeable surfaces like concrete and asphalt, which prevent water absorption into the ground. When heavy rainfall occurs, these surfaces lead to rapid runoff, overwhelming drainage systems. Additionally, urban infrastructure often channels water into confined areas, exacerbating flooding. The combination of these factors makes urban areas particularly susceptible to flash floods.
