      Areas which receives heavy rain or cyclones/thunder storms ,areas which have poor water holding capacity, poor drainage system,situated just down the main stream of river are commonly affected by floods.

      Flat plains at the end of a river system that experiences abundant rainfall.
      Australia is rain-poor amongst continents. The one major river system "Murray-Darling" is not comparable to any major river system of the world. But its plains might get flooded in NSW & Victoria as well as the SW part of South Australia. But this flooding is mild compared to that of Nile, Amazon, Yangtze, Mississippi, Mekong or even rivers like Niger, Brahmaputra, Ganges, Indus or Chao Phraya.
