inundated landscapes

Inundated landscapes are areas that have been temporarily or permanently flooded with water, resulting in submerged land. This can occur due to natural events like heavy rains, rising rivers, or coastal storm surges, or from human activities such as dam releases or land development. These flooded regions can significantly impact ecosystems, agriculture, and human settlements, creating wetlands or water-logged zones that influence local biodiversity and land use. Understanding inundated landscapes helps in managing flood risks, conserving wetlands, and planning sustainable development near water bodies.
