Mountain torrents are natural disasters, which not only cause casualties, but also may cause economic losses. Mountain torrents refer to the skyrocketing floods in mountainous areas. Mountain torrents are characterized by strong seasonality, high frequency of occurrence, obvious regionality, high possibility of occurrence, quick arrival, rapid disaster, strong destruction and very serious harm. Mountain torrents are mainly affected by heavy rain, which is very likely to cause mountain torrents. Therefore, mountain flood disasters in China are mainly concentrated from May to September. Floods may also be accompanied by mudslides and landslides, triggering a series of chain effects. Mountain torrents may break up families, so they are disgusting.
