The problem arising out of recurrent floods have been seen in most parts of the riverine areas of the Brahmaputra valley of Assam in India. Floodplains which are recognized as the artery of human life on the earth are usually affected by floods of low to moderate intensities. Patterns of settlement, land use, communication network, and various socio-economic developments in any floodplain are, therefore, seen to have been shaped, to a great extent, by the nature of floods and the floodplains on the one hand and by the ingenuity of the floodplain dwellers on the other. Here, in this paper a humble attempt has been made to examine and annalyze the salient features of flood and its impact on their settlement pattern as well as mode of adjustment of the people based on field data from Dhakuakhana Sib-division of Lakhimpur District, Assam, India.
