Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
crecida: Algunas fuentes incluyen "avenida" como sinónimo de crecida. Sin embargo, la definición de "avenida" que los expertos proponen indica que es un tipo de crecida violenta y súbita, que son las características que la diferencian de una crecida normal. 4, record 5, Spanish, - crecida
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
crecida: No se debe confundir con "inundación". La relación entre estos dos conceptos es de causa y efecto si entendemos que con una crecida hay riesgo de inundación, que se produce si el aumento de caudal provoca el desbordamiento del cauce de un curso de agua. Por otra parte, no todas las inundaciones son producto de una crecida, pueden deberse también a lluvias intensas, descongelamiento o rotura de la valla de contención de una presa. 4, record 5, Spanish, - crecida
