Anthropogenic effects have drastically modified both the floodplain and the river system and over time this has led to increased occurrence and severity of flooding. This situation has inflicted hardship on the people living in the area and affected the C successful functioning of infrastructure developments (such as roads, sewage treatment plants etc). Urbanisation has further increased the degree and frequency of flooding events. Landfill has seriously [ lowered the ability of the floodplain to store waters; at present, significant flooding occurs at a much higher frequency as common rainfall levels outstrip the ability of the floodplain to store the waters.
