Floods are probably one of the worst occurrences to happen to those involved in any level of agriculture. They are almost impossible to predict and they destroy many acreages of crops, farms, and houses in a short amount of time.
Crops cannot be grown in fields that are flooded.Once a flood has a occurred, it is very difficult to dry large pieces of land for replanting. If the field is flooded even after seeding and the plants have started to come up, farm equipment can't get in to take care of the fungus and other diseases that are associated with flooding. Too much water for too long also either kills the plants or stunts their growth limiting harvest later in the fall. Often severe erosion through the force of the flood waters is also associated with flooding on cropland. Flooding with regards to animal husbandry can make things challenging as well. Animals need to take shelter in areas of higher ground to ensure their safety and health, because if they do not and stay in the flood-prone areas, they will drown or be swept away by the flood waters. Feed may be an issue if it cannot be shipped by boat or aircraft to the flood-striken animals and if it is spoiled by being underwater. Diseases can also be transmitted to livestock, from several vectors including drinking the flood waters, the bacteria left after the flood waters have subsided, and even if they've been subjected to being almost swept away by the floods.
For farmers that rely on crops and animals for their own sustinance and survival, it could be disasterous for them, since they wouldn't have any food to feed themselves and their family during the winter or dry-season periods, nor would they have any source of income if their livestock and crops have been swept away and drowned. They would then have to scrape up the money to get food from somewhere else, or hope that their neighbors may be generous to share some of what they have left with the

Flood➫ An overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry.
♦ It can also be overflow of mud flow caused by buildup of water underground.
♦ It is a natural process, but mankind's activities affect flooding.
♦ It occur at irregular intervals and vary in size, area of extent , and duration.
➧ Causes Of Floods:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Heavy Rains
❱ Broken Dams
❱ 0verflowing Rivers
❱ A Lack of Vegetation
❱ Melting Snow and Ice
❱ Urban Drainage Basins
❱ Storm Surges & Tsunamis
❱ Channels with Steep Sides
➧ Effects Of Floods:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ It effect on the economy, environment and people.
❱ It can also contaminate drinking water and lead to diseases.
❱ It destroy several buildings & Houses.
❱ It caused massive leakage in nuclear plants.
➧ Precautions Of Floods:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Seek higher ground.
❱ Be ready to evacuate.
❱ Stay away from power lines & electrical wires.
❱ Be aware of flash flood areas such as canals, streams & drainage channels.
➧ Prevention Of Floods:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Construct buildings above Flood levels.
❱ Tackle climate change.
❱ Increase spending on flood defences.
❱ Restore rivers to their natural courses.
❱ Introduce water storage areas.
❱ Protect wetlands and introduce plant trees strategically.
