the source of water for a river
the boundary between two drainage basins
Infiltration is...
water flowing down a road
water flowing onto a flood plain
water sinking into the soil
where a river meets the sea
Rocks and soil that do not allow water to soak into them are called...

impermeable
A "human" cause of flooding is...

Why does having lots of plants make flooding slower?
The plants cannot absorb water very fast
The plants' roots are connected to the river
The plants absorb water (interception) so the water takes longer to reach the river
Plants increase run-off
