The Mississippi River does this on a regular basis. Why do you think they call it a 'flood plain.' Also, the addition of man made levees has made that particular problem worse in many ways.
Yet, because of the need to maintain businesses and residences along the waterway which is a primary means of commerce for the area, people keep rebuilding in an area they KNOW will flood again next year.
