The Georgia Floods of 2009


Many students have personal stories of how the floods affected their homes. We saw first hand examples of water erosion.

Check out the websites and post your comments about floods, erosion, and how humans can control water flow.

It seems that the floods all happen around the same time of year. Does this usually happen?
