Solution

Everything that exists on our mother earth can be either constructive or destructive. So, the rain also is constructive as well as destructive. Let us discuss when the rain can be an agent of floods or a source of water for dams.

an agent of floods: When there are heavy rains, especially during rainy season, the rivers overflow and break leaves, there is water logging and the areas below the sea level are submerged causing floods.

a source of water for dams: Rains cause the gullies in the mountains to fill with the water, these act as tributaries to a river. Thus, the more tributaries a river has, the more water it will carry. Thus, the dam on the river will have a healthy amount of water in its reservoir. So, there will be a healthy output of electricity.
