Floods- ¨a great flowing or overflowing of water, especially over land not usually submerged¨
During a flood water from rivers or streams overflows onto the land around it. Everything you put into the sewers comes up onto the street contaminating the soil. It flows into the lower areas of houses and creates water damage. Sometimes it is so bad that the foundation is unstable and you are not aloud in your house. In addition, floods can put human's and animal's lives at risk, especially when the water is fast moving.
