phenomena such as heavy rainfall, overflowing water from

rivers, seas, or lakes. While the second cause is due to human

activities such as logging, poor drainage systems, and

blockage of ditches due to garbage. Flooding is caused by the

effects of human activities that often occur in urban areas. The
