    • Groundwater flooding
      Flooding that occurs after the ground has become saturated from prolonged heavy rainfall.
    • Surface water flooding
      Flooding that occurs when intense rainfall has insufficient time to infiltrate soil, so flows overland.
    • Flash flooding
      A flood with an exceptionally short lag time - often minutes or hours.
