Along with the natural causes, man-made factors are equally responsible for disasters such as flood. The chief factors are:
1. Insensible exploitation of natural resources.
2. Human settlements in the rivers flow zones.
3. Construction of roads and railways in an unplanned and unreasonable manner.
4. Destruction of traditional water-containing sources.
5. Ignoring the natural water flow zones and performing construction over them.
6. Insensible exploitation of forests and ruining of natural meadows.
