Default the flood disaster in pakistan is caused by human follies comment

flood
it is the rushing of water from its bank with heavy velocity and random direction .

cause of flooding
heavy rain fall
poor sanitation system
lower forest area
in adequate water storage capacity
global warming

flood causes are numerous , but in case of pakistan , citizens play its role to bring flood during spring season

monsoon season ,
in the months of september and august , siberia cold winds migrates towards asias(pakistan ,india and bagladesh). these winds find condensation nuclei and temperature difference , form rain. heavy rainfall in southern part specially karachi , and eastern part like lahore brings flood like situation

why
karachi
no doubt , it is the biggest city with poor planning and management system . in pakistan , sanitation condition is poor , it is practice to throw garbage , trash into small channels , unfortunately , municipality donot proper clean the city . sudden violent outburst fills channels .

human settlement
pakistan is a population of 180 million people . people settle along the coast ,banks of river .natural flow of water disturbs with human settlement .water has natural tendency to make its own path . water level rises in the center and pushes outward from the banks .this condition is human induced flooding

poor embarkment
barrages are the regulators to store water for irrigation in rabi and kharif season . however embarkment is not hard to stand high pressure stress. the recent flood of 2010 , sind was the most effected province ,why? sukkar barrage m koyri (ghulam muhammad barrage ) were unable to store water for teh long time , in the result badin , sukkar and jacobabad , nawab shah were affected .life span of leeves and embarkment has reached its maximum age limit . now drastic and rapid finishing is necessary .
low forest area
pakistan population is increasing at alarming rate . punjab comes area wise as the second largest province , yet owns high population (80 million). forest land is converted into commercial and residential schemes , sewerage system is unidirectional , while industrial effluent discharges into local rivers, forest are source of waste consumption , according to study , 25 % area of country fixed with trees , conversely , forest is used in burning , coal making and furniture , in rainy season , flood is our follies .

lack of water storage
pakistan has two water storage i.e terbela and mangla .kalabagh is controversial , diamer will take time to complete . india have constructed kanga dam , in rainy season , out flow from india increase , a large area submerged in punjab specially southern punjab
