 CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In most places, rainfall is likely to occur irregularly and in widely different amounts from one
time to another. As a result, the streams which carry the surface runoff fluctuate greatly in the amount of
water they carry. Thus, floods can be expected to occur at intervals as a normal part of the cycle (Ramsey
and Burckley, 1966).
McDaniel (2012) stated that floods are the second-most widespread natural disaster on Earth. It
happens when water overflows or soaks land that is normally dry. There are few places on Earth where
people don’t need to be concerned about flooding. Generally, floods take hours or even days to develop,
giving residents time to prepare or evacuate. Sometimes, floods develop quickly and with little warning.
Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake,
which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries, or
may be due to accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an area flood. It can also arise from
abnormal heavy precipitation, dam failures, rapid snow melts, river blockages (Mwape, 2009).
