Best Answer

if the slopes are steep and if it rains the rain will quickly travel down the slope and into the river- if it rains a lot eventually a flood would be caused because the river cannot take too much water- a way to prevent this is too build a dam there so the water can go down to the river at a slow pace. :)

hope this helps a lot
