According to China's meteorological regulations, heavy rainfall with 24-hour precipitation exceeding 50 mm is called "rainstorm". Due to the different characteristics of precipitation and topography, the standards of rainstorm and flood are different in different places. Rainstorm is a kind of disastrous weather, which often causes floods and serious soil erosion, leading to major economic losses, such as engineering accidents, dike breaches and crop flooding. Especially for some low-lying and blocked areas, rainwater can't be discharged quickly, which leads to water accumulation in farmland and supersaturation of soil moisture, which will lead to more geological disasters.
