history of flooding due to abnormal climate conditions. Every year precautions are taken to help minimize damages that are caused by the flooding.

The first reason that contributes to the river flooding so often is the ice melting in the spring. The Red River flows northward

The rivers leading from the Himalayas flow into the sea‚ when they suffer with heavy rain the excess water starts to over flow and flood and waterlog land and surroundings. The physical causes are‚ the monsoon climate brings very heavy rain and snow‚ and soils are leached and heavy runoff results in soil erosion‚ snow melting results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge
