Great Flood

The Great Flood refers to a series of extensive flood events caused by heavy rainfall, storm surges, or melting snow that inundated large areas, often affecting multiple regions simultaneously. Historically, many cultures have myths or records of such floods, which can result from natural processes like rising rivers overflowing their banks or excessive rainfall overwhelming drainage systems. These floods can lead to significant damage to infrastructure, displacing communities, destroying crops, and altering landscapes. They serve as reminders of the power of natural forces and the importance of flood management and preparedness.
