GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Groundwater flooding occurs when frequent, sustained rainfall leads to excessively fast recharge of local groundwater levels and the water table rises above the land surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flood-water can directly influences groundwater flow level in the area with high groundwater level. Surface water may interact with the neighboring aquifer during flood events. Stream water levels that rise in response to runoff may result in lateral water flow into the neighboring floodplain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fluctuations in the water table level are caused by changes in precipitation between seasons and years. During late winter and spring, when snow melts and precipitation is high, the water table rises. There is a lag, however, between when precipitation infiltrates the saturated zone and when the water table rises.

Detailed explanation-4: -A high water table has the potential to increase humidity levels in your home. This can lead to a host of problems, including wood rot, mold growth, and rust. The rising humidity levels will also degrade your wooden structures.
