Scenarios about 'floods'
Floods are natural disasters involving the overflow of water that submerges land that is normally dry, caused by excessive rainfall, storm surges, dam failures, or rapid snowmelt. Throughout history, floods have shaped civilizations by determining settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and engineering responses, while also causing significant loss of life and property. In alternate history scenarios, different flood control technologies, settlement decisions, or climate patterns could dramatically alter the development of societies and geopolitical boundaries.
