Question

Which parts of India experience floods and droughts ?

Answer 1

Hint:Droughts happen when available water supplies are used up by an abnormally long dry spell. When watercourses or rain swallow up land that is normally exposed, floods happen.
These natural disasters are also compounded by human intervention, paved roads and asphalt-packed cities avoid water from sinking into the earth. The water ends up causing widespread harm as it builds up on th8e surface.

Complete answer:
Human beings require water to live, like all living creatures. To mention only a few things, it is used for bathing, drinking, and watering crops. Usually, the amount of water available depends on the amount of rain and snow that falls. Unfortunately, there is no fair distribution of precipitation around the globe. Many regions hardly see rain, while others get more than their share. Many individuals in an environment get used to too little or too much over time.The problems start when, when they are least planned, drastic changes occur.

Droughts :-A drought is a time when below-normal precipitation occurs in an area or region.
The lack of sufficient rainfall, either rain or snow, may lead to decreased soil or groundwater humidity, decreased stream flow, crop damage and a general water shortage.

Floods :-An overflow of water that submerges land that is normally dry is a flood. The term can also be applied to the inflow of the tide in the sense of 'flowing water'.
Floods are a field of research in the hydrology discipline and are of major concern in agriculture, civil engineering and public health.

In India, flood prone areas cover 12.5% of the country.
The flood-prone areas include West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Assam, Bihar, Gujrat, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab.
Drought-prone areas:-Maharashtra, Odisha, Telangana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh.

Note:As a consequence, four forms of drought have been identified by the climate community:-
1) meteorological drought, 2) hydrological drought, 3) agricultural drought, and 4) socioeconomic drought. Meteorological drought occurs when a region is dominated by dry weather patterns.
Fluvial floods A fluvial flood, or river flood, occurs when the water level increases and overflows into the surrounding banks, shores and adjacent land in a river, lake or stream. Pluvial Coastal Flooding (Flash. Floods and Surface Water) (storm surge.
