How it works

Why is the water level rising? The arrow from heavy rain to rising water shows cause and result.
Express the cause with a noun followed by 「によって」. What comes next describes the result of that cause.
「により」 also expresses a cause. It is common in news reports and notices and sounds more formal.
In a notice, 「大雨により」 explains why today’s event was canceled.
「大雨による浸水」 answers the question: what caused this flooding?
Use 「による」 when a noun follows. 「大雨による」 modifies the noun 「浸水」.
Look at what follows: use 「によって／により」 to describe a result, and 「による」 to modify a noun.
