Scenarios about 'flooding'
Flooding refers to the temporary overflow of water onto land that is normally dry, occurring when water bodies exceed their carrying capacity due to heavy rainfall, storm surges, dam failures, or rapid snowmelt. Throughout history, floods have shaped human settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and engineering responses, while also serving as catalysts for technological and social adaptations. In alternate history scenarios, different flood control technologies, settlement patterns, or climate conditions could significantly alter the development of civilizations and geopolitical boundaries.
