Wasserstand von Gewässern deutlich über dem Pegelstand ihres Mittelwassers
A flood occurs when water overflows from its normal boundaries and covers land that is usually dry, as shown in this image of a street in England submerged under water. Floods matter because they can damage homes, infrastructure, and communities, posing risks to people's safety and property.

Hochwasser (wissenschaftlich/mathematische Abkürzung HQ aus „Hoch“ und Abfluss-Kennzahl Q) wird der Zustand von Gewässern genannt, bei dem ihr Wasserstand deutlich über dem Pegelstand ihres Mittelwassers liegt. Gegenstück ist „Niedrigwasser“. Bei der Begriffsverwendung ist zu unterscheiden, woher entsprechendes Wasser hauptsächlich stammt: * Gezeitenunabhängig (Tide): Aufgrund von Starkregen ("pluvial") oder Schneeschmelze (Wasser von oben), bei fließenden oder stehenden Gewässern ("fluvial"), * Tideabhängig (In der Regel an maritimen Gewässerküsten): * Normalfall: Zustand zwischen Nipp- und Springflut * Extremfall Sturmflut: Durch Stärke und Richtung von Wind bzw. Sturm bis Orkan erhöhtes normales periodisches Hochwasser
