That's a very good question.
Genesis 9:15 says "And I shall certainly remember my covenant which is between me and YOU and every living soul among all flesh; and no more will the waters become a deluge to bring all flesh to ruin." God promised that he would never again destroy "all flesh" with a flood or deluge. This did not mean the end of localized flooding. In fact, in some places, floods are vital to agriculture. For example, along the Nile in Egypt, annual flooding nourishes the soil.
Have a good day!

Like some have rightly noted, it was a global flood that God promised that He would not send again to destroy mankind. This is in keeping with a plain reading of the Scriptures. For those believers who compromised the plain teaching of Scriptures by positing a local flood, they will have a hard time answering your question.

What God promised Noah after that flood was that He would never have another flood that covered the earth, destroying everything. He has kept His promise.

He promised that after he flooded it, he would never flood the whole earth again, and he hasn't. That promise still exists. Have a nice day and God bless.

God has not broken that promise and covenant. God said I will not destroy the world by water and He has not.
Genesis 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

What God said is that he would never again destroy mankind as a whole with a flood as he did in the Noah and the Ark scenerio. To my knowledge, He has kept his word.

That was after Noah and the Great Flood. Supposedly God made a rainbow to tell himself not to forget to turn the water off after a rainstorm.

He promised not to flood the Earth
Flood means to cover the earth completely
So that all die
We are not dead
