Flooding can have different causes and this simulator looks at the combination of three different factors involved in causing flooding.<\/p>\n

How wet the soil is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/p>\n

Dry<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Normal<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wet<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

What the weather is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Light rain<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
