300,000 cubic metres of water per second — that’s the kind of extraordinary flow reached by the Amazon River during extreme conditions, making it the most powerful river system on Earth by discharge. Asia is home to some of the world’s greatest rivers, and when they rise beyond their normal levels, the consequences can be enormous. The Yangtze, China’s longest river, carries huge volumes of water through densely populated areas. Severe flooding along the Yangtze has repeatedly affected millions of people throughout history. The Ganges-Brahmaputra system is another giant. The Brahmaputra can change dramatically during the monsoon season, with enormous increases in water flow and large areas of Bangladesh, India and Tibet exposed to flooding. Then there’s the Mekong, which flows through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Its annual floods are actually essential to the ecosystems and agriculture of the region, but extreme rainfall and tropical storms can turn those seasonal floods into destructive disasters. One of the most catastrophic floods in modern history happened in China in 1931. The Yangtze, Yellow and Huai rivers all experienced extraordinary flooding, and the disaster affected tens of millions of people. Estimates of deaths vary enormously, with figures ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million when famine and disease are included. And here’s something fascinating about rivers. The biggest floods don’t always happen because a river suddenly receives rain directly. Rainfall hundreds of kilometres upstream can travel downstream and cause water levels to rise dramatically days later. When enormous rivers overflow, the water can spread across huge floodplains, turning roads into rivers and isolating entire communities. And when you see footage of an enormous Asian river breaking its banks and swallowing everything around it, it can look almost impossible. But these are real natural forces.
