Seasonal Flooding
Seasonal flooding occurs when heavy rainfall or melting snow causes rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water to overflow their banks during specific times of the year. This phenomenon is often influenced by weather patterns, such as monsoons or spring thaws, and can lead to temporary inundation of surrounding areas.
While seasonal flooding can provide essential nutrients to soil and support ecosystems, it can also pose risks to human settlements and agriculture. Communities may need to implement flood management strategies, such as levees or floodplain zoning, to mitigate potential damage and protect lives and property.
