Floods A certain surface is affected by excessive water for an indeterminated period of time. They can be seasonal or sudden.

Natural Causes Excesive rains. Overflowing of rivers, lagoons, lakes,etc.

Human causes Bad agricultural practice Bad infraestructure Deforestation Urban increase

Most important consequences Population mortality Economic losses Population evacuation Infraestructure destruction

Recent examples in Argentina Flood in the northwest of Buenos Aires (1994) Flood in Litoral (1998- around Corrientes province)
