Flash flood is an extreme type of flood that is categorized within the fast kinds of riverine floods. The âflashâ attached to the term refers to its rapid effect. This type of flood is found to be the result of the convective moisture from the air or waters, like rain and snow that fall from the sky.
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. The European Union (EU) Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water. In the sense of flowing water, the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide.
