  • Farming Techniques
CONT

Even when no immediate danger to crops is inflicted, agricultural production can still suffer in flood plains (of rivers) because of the unpredictable arrival and magnitude of the flood unless crops are suited to the inundation. In many parts of the developing world seasonal flood recession cultivation provides basic food requirements and is particularly vulnerable to irregular inundation.
