The Torah implies that there were not (Genesis ch.7).
Because it was an actual event, there are records of the Flood in tens of ancient nations all over the Earth, just as there are of the Creation.

∙ 8y agoAccording to the Book of Genesis, the Flood covered the entire earth to the tops of the highest mountains, and occurred around 3000 BCE. There was no Survivor, and could be no survivor, other than those who went on Noah's Ark.
However, the ancient Hebrews knew very little about the world beyond their limited horizons. Civilisations such as the Egyptians, left us detailed records that showed they continued to exist throughout the time of Noah's Flood, unaware of anything unusual that happened at the time. The Australian aborigines had arrived in Australia more than 40,000 years ago and continued their daily existence, also unaware of a worldwide Flood. All these people were 'survivors' of the great Flood.

What impact did Noah of Noah's Ark have on society?
Now there is a very strange question. Assuming that the Genesis version of the Flood legend is correct (other civilizations have other versions), then the answers are two: 1) before the Flood: no impact, as nobody believed the flood was coming and they just laughed at Noah. 2) After the flood; No society. Noah and his family were the only survivors. Noah himself, who is described as a 'preacher of righteousness' in 2Peter 2:5, does not appear to have had any successful impact on the ante-deluvian society, as mentioned above. No-one joined him and his family on the ark. Post-flood Noah was the patriarch of a new world and little is recorded about his impact then. What is recorded tells us that God can use fallible people.

How soil is built up in flood plains?
Soil in flood plains is built up through the deposition of sediments carried by floodwaters. When rivers overflow their banks, they deposit sediments rich in nutrients onto the flood plain, gradually building up fertile soil layers over time. This process helps replenish nutrients, enhance soil fertility, and support the growth of vegetation in floodplain areas.
