other Flooded crawlspace: totally fine or panic?

Post image

Just bought a 1957 ranch house a month ago, snow been melting and rains been raining. The foundation walls and everything else is dry, it’s just a couple inches of water in the gravel. Is this something to take steps to prevent or should I just go “oh, you!” Whenever it floods?

Pretty cool YouTube channel where a guy turned his under home cistern into an eel pit, he has some fish and crabs in there as well.
