Question

Give two man-made cars that have increased flooding.

✓

Answer

The flow of the river is obstructed due to dams or massive irrigation schemes built along the river.
When river dams burst or break, the water stored in them rushes out very fast.
So floods occur.
In addition, human industrial and economic activity has a greenhouse effect on temperature and global warming melts the ice in the glacier.
So the amount of water in the river flows as fast as a flood.
Thus, flood situation is also created by human intervention.
The Morbi water disaster in Gujarat was caused by a breach of the dam.
