They are a major hazard in Manipur, especially during the monsoon season. The monsoon season is the wettest time of year in Manipur, and it is when most of the state&#8217;s annual rainfall occurs. Heavy rains can cause rivers to overflow their banks, leading to flash floods. Flash floods can also occur when there is a sudden release of water from a dam or reservoir.<\/p>\n<p>Flash floods can cause extensive damage to property and infrastructure. They can also cause loss of life. In 2015, a flash flood in Manipur killed at least 10 people and displaced thousands more.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of things that can be done to reduce the risk of flash floods in Manipur. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building dams and reservoirs to control the flow of water.<\/li>\n<li>Planting trees and other vegetation to help absorb rainwater.<\/li>\n<li>Raising awareness of the dangers of flash floods.<\/li>\n<li>Developing early warning systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By taking these steps, it is possible to reduce the risk of flash floods in Manipur and protect the lives and property of the people who live there.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The winter season is the driest time of year in Manipur, and there is a low risk of flash floods during this time.<\/li>\n<li>The dry season is the second driest time of year in Manipur, and there is a low risk of flash floods during this time.<\/li>\n<li>Flash floods can occur at any time of year, but they are most common during the monsoon season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Monsoon season&#8221;
