    Flooding occurs through natural or non-natural processes. Naturally, flooding happens when rain falls and water flows to lower areas, overflowing its normal containment. Non-naturally, flooding can result from human environmental damage like littering that clogs water flow and prevents absorption, causing overflow. In both cases flooding has disastrous potential to damage infrastructure and endanger lives when water rises in inhabited areas.

    FLOOD

    Flooding is a disaster which commonly happens in large and densely populated cities. In
    Indonesia, the flood hit Jakarta very often and cause many victims. Then do you know the process
    of how flood happens? Pay attention to the following explanation.

    The process of natural flooding is preceded by rain which falls to the surface of the earth.
    Then the rain water is absorbed by the ground surface and flows to the lower place. Once that
    condition happens, evaporation and the water appear to the surface of the land. Flooding can be
    disastrous for humans when floods happen in an area that people live because the water carries
    along objects like houses, bridges, cars, furniture and even people.

    On the other hand, the process of non-natural flooding is usually caused by bad habits of
    humans who do not care about the environment, such as littering that can make water flow
    clogged. This makes the water deposited in landfills which gradually becomes more common. When
    water reservoirs can no longer hold water discharge, the water then overflows out the land and
    cause flooding.
