# Flood

Beanstalk sells newly minted Beans on the open market during long run increases in demand for Beans when [increasing the Bean supply](/almanac/peg-maintenance/overview.md#bean-supply), [lowering the Maximum Temperature](/almanac/peg-maintenance/temperature.md) and [lowering the Crop Ratio](/almanac/peg-maintenance/crop-ratio.md) have not crossed the Bean price over its peg.

At the beginning of a [Season](/almanac/farm/sun.md), if it is currently Raining (the previous Season P > 1), and the [Pod Rate](/almanac/peg-maintenance/overview.md#debt-level) is less than 5%, it Floods at the beginning of the next Season.

At the beginning of a Season during a Flood, Beanstalk mints additional Beans and sells them directly in pools on the Flood Whitelist with the highest shortage of Beans at the end of the previous Season. Liquidity pools can be added to and removed from the Flood Whitelist via [Beanstalk governance](/almanac/governance/beanstalk.md). Proceeds from the sale are distributed to Stalkholders at the beginning of Season in proportion to their Stalk holdings when it began to Rain. At the beginning of each Season in which it Floods, up to 0.1% of the Bean supply worth of Pods that grew from Beans Sown before it began to Rain Ripen and become Harvestable.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bean.money/almanac/peg-maintenance/flood.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
