3. Introduction
Floods are the most frequent type of natural disaster and
occur when an overflow of water submerges land that is
usually dry. Floods are often caused by heavy rainfall, rapid
snowmelt or a storm surge from a tropical cyclone or
tsunami in coastal areas.
Md. Lekhon Miah

4. Floods In Bangladesh 2001-2005
75% of the country is below 10m above sea
level and 80% is classified as floodplain in
Bangladesh. So Bangladesh is prone to
flooding almost every year. Between the flood
2001-2005, only notable and catastrophic
flood were occurred in 2004.

10. Summary
Due to insufficient data, we were unable to
provide enough insight regarding the 2001-
2005 floods. The Year-wise Flood Affected
Area data was collected from “Annual Flood
Report 2010” by “Bangladesh Water
Development Board”. The rainfall of 2004
data was collected from “Bangladesh Flood
Forecasting and Warning Centre”. Other
information and all the pictures in this
presentation were collected from the
internet.
