Part 2/11:
When discussing the dangers of rivers, floods are often the first to come to mind. As the most common type of natural disaster, the incidence of floods has doubled over the past 40 years, primarily due to climate change. One notable disaster occurred in Pakistan in 2010 when the Indus River overflowed, devastating 20% of the country's territory and displacing millions. Such floods not only destroy homes and livelihoods but also claim lives, illustrating the immense power of these waterways.
