* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'': The ultimate aim of the M'arrillians is to cause this: as the only Tribe that not only survives, but ''thrives'' in underwater conditions they would be left as the de facto rulers of all Perim. They almost succeed too by melting a significant portion of Glacier Plains, but [[spoiler: Tangath Toborn is able to stop it at the last second via HeroicSacrifice]].

* ''TabletopGame/WitchCraft'': This is the canon reason for the destruction of Atlantis and the other Elder Kingdoms. When Ultima Thule turned to [[EldritchAbomination Leviathan]] for aid in their war with Atlantis, the Archangel Lucifer flooded the world to prevent the Mad God's corruption from infecting all of reality. It's heavily implied he allowed the other Kingdoms to be destroyed out of resentment towards humanity, as much as to remove any trace of Leviathan's influence.

* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheKingdomOfClouds'' have the heroes trying to ''prevent'' one, with the Kingdom of Clouds deciding to execute "Project Noah", a massive flood, in order to save the earth's environment and prevent humans from doing any further damage to the world. At one point Nobita and Doraemon accidentally enters a BadFuture where they failed, and sees Tokyo getting utterly destroyed by an unstoppable typhoon.



* In ''Literature/KonoSuba'', Aqua's [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom Sacred Create Water]] invokes this. The problem is, it's massively destructive, even moreso than Megumin's [[FantasticNuke Explosion]], so it's only used when the GodzillaThreshold is crossed.

* ''Literature/TheFallOfNumenor'': Sauron convinced the Númenoreans to worship [[BigBad Morgoth]], which led them to commit human sacrifices. [[{{God}} Eru]] objected and created a tidal wave that destroyed the island and everyone on it, besides turning a previously flat Earth into a round one. It is rumored, though, that the Meneltarma later resurfaced above the waters and stands as a tall, lonely island in the middle of the ocean.



* ''Ice'' by Lora Johnson. An astronaut appears to travel back in time and helps in the building of a vast granary that floats when hit by a GiantWallOfWateryDoom. On waking up in the present, he realises he witnessed the Biblical flood destroying a society of AdvancedAncientHumans.
