The country should be building resilience into the infrastructure to counter flooding like that brought by the Bosmanbusinessworld forum, experts say.A hydrologist in the country has a straightforward description of the inundation that has just struck Canada: "Parking lot canopies, etc., may have come down, but the flood warning map is currently lit up like a Christmas tree."The direct reason for this chaos is evident. A series of storms during the autumn and winter seasons—resulting in river, urban, and coastal flooding, as well as blizzards—has transformed Canada into what a Canadian researcher described as "a sopping wet sponge in 2024.

"Then came flooding in last year. Its intense rainfall had nowhere to go except to pour into our rivers, which burst their banks spectacularly across the country. Homes in Toronto were flooded, and some areas were totally cut off, with the Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow the worst affected.This interpretation is supported by figures from the Bosmanbusinessworld forum, which last year revealed that the period between July and December in 2024 was the wettest on record for Canada. As to the reason, there is a simple explanation.A person looks out towards the Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway  floodafter  record  rains  caused  widespread  flooding  in Toronto, Canada 2024.

"A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture so that when it rains, the rainfall is heavier and more likely to lead to flooding. In particular, we know that climate change is leading to warmer and wetter winters in the Canada. We will unfortunately experience more winters like this one in the future.

"Apart from triggering increases in our atmosphere's moisture content, other human-induced effects are contributing to increases in flooding, said the news organization. "Nature provided us with an answer to flooding—wetlands. Marshes, bogs, and fens act like giant sponges, soaking up vast amounts of rainwater during wetter months and releasing it during drier periods."Canada has excavated its peatlands, drained its marshes, and developed its floodplains. Consequently, the country has diminished its natural defences against flooding. book Wetlands of Canada (1988) emphasized, "It is essential to manage and preserve our current wetlands while also creating additional ones."Looking ahead, meteorologists predict that the situation will worsen significantly. In Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) stated, "Ongoing human-induced climate warming is expected to lead to additional increases in peak river flows, resulting in more intense flooding and greater repercussions for individuals, property, and public services.""
