3. Suggest ways we can look after river life and
save water:
plant a rain garden: these gardens soak up rain
water so pollutants are filtered in plants and
soils instead of going directly into waterways.
SECTION 2: FLOODING:
1. How does a flood occur?
Floods occur when an overflow of water submerges land
that is usually dry. Floods are often caused by heavy
rainfall or extreme snowmelt.
1 type of flood:
Flash flood: is a quick flood caused by a heavy burst of rain
a lot of water falls quickly into cities and towns the drains
overflow and roads become flooded.
3
natural factors: Less evaporation, Snow has melted, River
rises.
Humans also have an important role in increasing the
risk of flooding. Forests are being destroyed to make
space for making cities and towns. In large forests, the
rain gets caught by the branches and leaves which means
some of the water evaporates back into the atmosphere.
When trees are cut down, more rain will reach the ground
making it easier to cause flooding.

3.BANGLADESH FLOOD:
There have been many severe floods in our history. In the
last few years 50 floods occurred in Asia alone. One of the
most affected countries in the world is Bangladesh. In
June 2022,Bangladesh was hit by one of the worst floods
ever seen in the country. Over 7 million people were
affected and still in need of urgent help. This flood was
caused from very heavy rain in the Northern India and fast
rising water. The heavy rain caused the large rivers
running between India and Bangladesh to overflow their
banks that caused flooding. The flooding has caused
serious on health of the population with many suffering
from diarrhea, skin and
eye infections.
