    Floods occur when an overflow of water submerges dry land, often caused by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or storm surges. Stream gauges monitor water levels and send flood warnings via satellite if levels rise dramatically. The deadliest flood was in 1931 China, killing around 2.5 million people. Floods have significant social, economic, and environmental impacts through drowning, disease, property damage, and environmental degradation. Recent major floods include 2020 floods in Sudan that affected over 500,000 people and destroyed 40,000 homes.
