River flooding is an important natural hazard. Rivers which rise quickly after rainfall are described as having a flashy hydrograph. Flooding is a natural phenomenon, but it becomes a hazard to life and property when floodplains are used for human activity. Human activity in drainage basins often makes flooding more likely (e.g. by deforestation or urbanisation).
