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

    encing
    Sequ 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.
    u al
    Vis xt.
    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 te
    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 theland and cause flooding.
