In it from the top to the valley, and the presence of previous dry seasons helps in the occurrence of torrents because rain water does not find channels for it to be absorbed into the ground, so the water remains accumulated on the surface of the earth, it started to run very quickly in the torrent valleys or the torrents that dug it previously, so It is necessary to monitor the streams of torrents, and to stay away from valleys, low areas and streams of torrents when there is a state of atmospheric instability, or atmospheric depressions.</p>
