How is the flood formed?
Floods are prone to occur in rainy season. After the rain falls to the ground, part of it seeps into the ground; Some evaporate into the air; Some of them flow along the ground, pass through small ditches and streams, and enter rivers. The amount of water flowing into the river depends on the rainfall first. The heavier the rain, the more concentrated the time, and the more water will flow into the river. If a large amount of water flows into the river in a short time, if the water volume exceeds the maximum transport capacity of the river, floods will occur and cause floods. In addition, the formation of floods is also influenced by natural factors such as local climate, underlying surface and human activities.

Become the biggest reservoir dam-break tragedy in the world!
Floods always occur in places with dense population, high degree of agricultural reclamation, concentrated rivers and lakes and abundant rainfall. Floods often threaten the lives and property of people in rivers, lakes and offshore areas, and even cause floods. Since ancient times, floods have brought many disasters to mankind, and we can never stop them. It is an inevitable factor in the complex climate system of our atmosphere.
