| Abstract |
| Floods are the most widely distributed natural risk to life compared to all natural risks. It considered being one of the worst weather-related natural disasters. Floods result in losses of life and properties damage. Population increase results in more urbanization which leads to more impervious area, less infiltration and greater flood runoff. Several factors affect the flooding, and the most important of them are the rainfall intensity and the storm duration. Intensity is the rate of rainfall, and duration is how long the rain takes. Topography, soil conditions, ground cover, wind speed and direction and many other factors also play important roles. Floods may come in the form of "flash floods" which have short warning time before occurrence or with no alarm at all, other floods take more time. “Flash flood” is a term widely used by flood experts and the general population in Arial regions because these areas characterized by heavy rainfall but with long return period. |
