- Effects on people: Damage to
and lose of property,
Insurance claims, loss of
income and no lives were lost
- Effects on the
environment: Trees
were uprooted
- Physical Causes: Heavy Rainfall,
Impermeable ground, Confluence
of two rivers and topography of
the surrounding area
- Human Causes: Impermeable
urban surfaces and the bridge
- This was a major flood for this area. There were many reasons for this flood taking place, for
example; steep slopes causing surface run off, impermeable rocks which doesn't let water
through, heavy rain causing added water, the bridge was blocking water as the flood was
happening and this will increase the flood, a narrow floodplain causing little space for water,
increase urbanisation which means people will be effected and there is a close Harbour and
the exit to that is small so water will be pushed back.
