Flooding Floods Floods are a normal occurrence for the people of south Asia. Every year, floods destroy crops and displace the region's inhabitants. Floods are most common in the low lands of Bangladesh where the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers meet.
Floods are both a hazard and an asset.
While the floods are drowning crops and livestock, and damaging property, they are also fertilizing the soil in the form of dissolved and suspended solids.
