Floodwaters allow sewage to mix with drinking water.
Tsunami waves can erode soil by carrying away top layers and depositing salt which can affect fertility. They can also contaminate fresh water sources by introducing saltwater, harming marine life and disrupting water treatment systems. Flooding from tsunamis can lead to saltwater intrusion in groundwater reservoirs, further affecting fresh water supply.

they built leeves and this preented flooding. When they needed water they would poke holes in the leeves to allow water to flow in.
Flooding poses significant threats to human life, property, and the environment. It can lead to loss of life, displacement of communities, and destruction of infrastructure. Additionally, flooding can contaminate water supplies, disrupt ecosystems, and result in long-term economic impacts. The increasing frequency and intensity of floods, exacerbated by climate change, heighten these risks globally.
The annual flooding brought silt to refresh the land and provided a water supply to support crops and the populace.
