    Flooding occurs when there is a great overflow of water in areas that are usually dry, such as along rivers, coasts, and land. Regions like the Ganges River basin, Mississippi River, and central/southern Africa frequently experience flooding that displaces people and damages infrastructure and agriculture. In early 2009, Zambia saw its worst floods in 40 years, which displaced over 20,000 families and harmed farms, roads, and buildings.
