awash
Flooded or overwhelmed
Awash means covered or flooded with water, especially so that water washes over the surface: The deck was awash in the storm.
The word extends to any overwhelming abundance: The office was awash in paperwork, a city awash with tourists.
Something awash is inundated, swamped, unable to stay above the tide of whatever surrounds it.
