Floods in Italy occur because of the destruction of flora (plants) and the construction of industrial buildings. These floods only really occur in Northern Italy, because: 1) it is wetter, and 2) because it is flatter (the north Italian plain). The steps:

People demand a bigger ski resort. People have to cut down flora for this.

People also cut down flora to build industrial buildings

Flora absorbs some water, so when it rains, instead of some of the rain getting absorbed by the flora, it goes into the rivers.

The rivers fill up more, until, over time, they overflow, causing a flood.
