Flood is a condition when overflow of water from a natural water source takes place. For example, overflow of a river in an adjacent plain region during heavy rainfall. When the flood is of high intensity, it causes severe damage. However, at times when the intensity of the flood is low, it can be useful for the plains too, especially for farming. Mild floods leave a layer of fine clay on land which acts as a boon for farming. The main reasons of flooding are heavy rainfall for a long duration, melting of snow in spring, hurricane and deforestation.
