What makes the
Danes Stream
prone to flooding?
- Does
- The geology of the Danes stream is clay, which I have found out is very
impermeable, more than any other types of rock like chalk and sand. This
would make the Danes stream more prone to flooding because water would take
much longer to infiltrate into the ground, this means therre is much more over
ground flow, which will flow into the river so the river volume will increase much
more quickly. There will also be more surface water, which in itself results to
flooding because the water will start to collect in puddles, which will get bigger
as the rain increases and cause a flood.
