Did you know floods don't just destroy homes and buildings, cover roads and stop people from getting where they want to go? They also pollute water systems. How you ask? Well, do you know what farmers have in their crops. Pesticides, and when the farm lands become flooded, all of the pesticides are in the water. Once the water flows back into large bodies of water all of the pesticides go with it. Once it enters the water systems all of the fish are living in the pesticides. Over time this could very well kill them. Although floods don't occur often in most places, the do happen. And we need to be prepared.
