It is this time of the year where children play in the mud, singles read books in coffee shops, mothers buy raincoats for their children and fathers hum the tune of “raindrops keep falling on my head” enroute to work. It’s the time of the year!

Flood can be very terrifying if you live near rivers. Though called in many literature as a source of life, rivers can actually take lives when they overflow. Rivers carry many risks especially when there is heavy rainfall and overtopping happens. When there is too much water because of very high rainfall volume, water can burst in the banks, causing dry areas to be flooded.
