We have talked about floods as natural disasters, but flooding is not always a bad thing. In Egypt the Nile River has flooded every year for thousands of years. Egyptians call this flood the "Gift of the Nile" because it leaves behind soil that is very fertile and good for farming.
Other rivers around the world also flood each year. These floods can be good or bad for farming depending on how big the flood is.
Check out this website from PBS that explains flooding and its effects on the people who live close to rivers all over the world.
