BECAUSE THOSE AREAS MIGHT HAVE HIGH HILLS WHERE THE CLOUDS HIT HARD AND RAIN .MIGHT BE THE LOW AREAS AND FINALLY DUE TO CLOSE TO SEAS

Water level will for a fact one day be a threat to the populations in certain areas but i highly doubt that it will occur anytime soon... maybe in a 100 years or more. I could be wrong though :(

I belive you are tallking about a source for water.  It could be several thing, a glacier melting,  snow pack from the winter or natural springs.  Where the water in a mountain finds a hard rock and then will find the path of least resistance,  sometimes out the side of the mountain which would be a mountain spring.  But the mountain source is just the fact that the river is starting in mountain,  from a spring, winter melt off or glacier.  hope that helps.

The flowers, plants, animals that live in the wild, the soil needs a lil water from time to time. So allot of benefits come from rain. Now if it rains for a week and floods everywhere like it is here now I wanna know what benefits comes from that? Besides wasting gas to go the long way to town, work, run errands etc...

There are levees that keep rivers from flooding out of their banks.  There are swamps and marshes that provide a buffer when a storm surge hits.  Breakwaters and barriers along some parts of the Louisiana shoreline that break up the waves before the wave can hit shore so that coastal erosion is reduced and the beaches can be rebuilt. \n\nNew Orleans also operates huge pumps that continually siphon water out of the city.\n\nNot sure what you're referring to, but hope this helps.

No. They are far too large for any single or even series of rainstorms to have any noticeable affect on the water level. However, if our weather patterns started to change significantly and over many years we had more and more rain, then the water level could rise. It would be a slow process.

Check out the Myth Buster show. They proved the answer is run. One gets wetter if one runs in the rain!

There is headward erision (where the upper course erodes at the head), Gulley Erosion( where it forms gorges and gulleys) and there is erosion by debris(bigger rocks or stones along the river bed). These can also cause potholes in the river bed.

The answer to your question can be found in Genesis Chapter 6. The reason for the deluge or flood was because GOD saw that the earth was wicked and full of violence. Due to the size of the Ark, it would have taken many years to construct and during this time Humans were given the opportunity to aid Noah and seek refuge in the ark. According to the Bible only Noah and his immediate family heeded GOD'S warning. And they were spared, while the wicked drowned. The Bible also goes on to state, that after the flood waters had reseeded, in Genesis 9:12, that GOD made a covenant with man that the earth will never be destroyed by a flood again. The Rainbow is GOD's reminder of that promise to man.\n\nAS FAR AS THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNT BEING ONLY A STORY..EXPLAIN WHY EVERY CULTURE REGARDLESS OF RELIGION  HAS A FLOOD STORY!!!

The effects of flooding are like in New Orleans: devastation.\nTo prevent flooding we should avoid the greenhouse effect to get worse by controling and reducing the CO2 emissions which are causing stronger environmental disasters like the ice caps melting for instance.

Check with your county's Auditor. They have access to maps of floodplains for the entire county. You can also check with your county's Engineer. They are responsible for surveying and maintaining maps for the county.

The one in Bosnia has been debunked, I believe.\nAnd there have been many "floods" not just one.  The earth has not been completely flooded over since it formed.  There's just not enough water. Even if all the ice caps melted completely there wouldn't be enough water.\nHowever, I do know who built the pyramids. It was a tribe of dwarves who were able to levitate objects through sound.

Oh thats an oldy but a goody. Its really not a stupid thing to prepare for bad times. Tornados,fires,floods,earthquakes. Just cause the media tells people its strange to have duct tape and water around dont mean its true. Good source is paladin press for books like this one

Because, private flood insurance is a scam.  Say you buy flood insurance.  Then a hurricaine comes through and floods your house.  The insurance company will claim your house was damaged by the wind, therefore  they will refuse to pay your claim.

Lots of reasons.  It depends on the air temperature and moisture content, the area that the water evaporates from, local geography (like mountains and lakes) as well as the composition of the cloud (water or ice crystals).
