Përmbytjeje

Përmbytjeje refers to a situation where land that is normally dry becomes covered with water. This can occur due to a variety of natural and human-induced factors. One common cause is excessive rainfall, which can overwhelm rivers, lakes, and drainage systems, leading to water overflowing its usual boundaries. Another significant factor is the rapid melting of snow and ice, particularly in mountainous regions, which can release large volumes of water downstream. Coastal areas are also susceptible to flooding from storm surges, which are temporary rises in sea level caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with storms. Dams and levees, while designed to control water, can also fail under extreme conditions, resulting in catastrophic flooding. Deforestation and urbanization can exacerbate flooding by reducing the land's ability to absorb rainwater, leading to increased surface runoff. The impact of përmbytjeje can be devastating, causing damage to property, infrastructure, and agriculture, and posing significant risks to human life and health.
