Question:

What were the causes of your flash flooding case study.

Author: Miqdaam Hamed Hassan



Answer:

1)low pressure system brought warm rising air from Atlantic ocean, cooled as it rose forming thuderstorms and intense rainfall. This also meant 75mm rain (monthly amount) fell in 2 hours 2)Previous rain wet the land so it couldnt absorb rain leading to surface run off 3)Bostcastle is in a steep-side valley in the confluence of 3 rivers. Steep valley side means surface ran off to river channels quickly so 2 billion litres of water funneled down river into boscastle 4)Cars and trees trapped in the arch of an old bridge forming a dam
