Most of the land is low lying which causes the rain water of spread over wide area.
The adjacent highlands receive torrential rainfall which releases large volumes of water resulting to rivers overflowing their banks.
Silt has filled the river beds making them shallow thus spilling their water over banks
The rivers are at their old stage, thus they have wide flood plains which allows water to spread over large areas.
The area has black cotton soil which is non- porous and when soaks up allow water to flow and spread on the surface.
The heavy rainfall received in the area id discharged into lake Victoria making its level to rise thus flooding the adjacent lowlands.
