Which areas and roads would be mostly affected by flood?

1.	Which areas and roads would be mostly affected by flood?
Answer» 1. Floods can happen on flat or low-lying areas when water is supplied by rainfall or snowmelt more rapidly than it can either infiltrate or run off. 2. The excess accumulates in place, sometimes to hazardous depths. 3. Surface soil can become saturated, which effectively stops infiltration, where the water table is shallow, such as a floodplain, or from intense rain from one or a series of storms. 4. Infiltration also is slow to negligible through frozen ground, rock, concrete. 5. Areas near water bodies such as lake, river, etc. are also affected by flood.
