A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that
submerges land, a deluge. In the sense of "flowing
water", the word is applied to the inflow of
the tide, as opposed to the outflow or "ebb".
It is usually due to the volume of water within
a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeding
the total capacity of the body, and as a result
some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal
perimeter of the body. It can also occur in rivers,
when the strength of the river is so high it flows
right out of the river channel , usually at corners
or meanders. These of course, are not applicable
in such instances as sea flooding... |
