We should mention here the fact that most Albanian rivers depend heavily on rainfall, as about 70 percent of the relief is mountainous, and if a few hours of rainfall, the rivers swell in a very short period of time, where often trigger floods and pose a risk to residential areas.
Similar events often occur in Autumn and Spring, when the flow of rivers in Albania is greater.
