Destruct by Floods in Assam

Damage by Floods in Assam

Imagine a container with water. Pour some water till the top. What would happen now if you pour some more water than it can hold? Water will overflow to the surroundings. Same happens with rivers. Sometimes rivers get over filled with a lot of extra water. This mostly happens at the time of non stop heavy rainfall. The extra water from the river flows into the surrounding land areas and submerges them. This is called flooding.
