How can you discuss and describe the methods of preventing floods?
There are ways to help prevent flooding. Natural vegetation, such as trees and plants, help prevent runoff. In areas where vegetation has been removed by logging or construction, it must be replaced, by a method known as reforestation. This is important in the headwater parts of a river's drainage basin. To help control flooding near a river's mouth, spillways are used. These are channels that run through the back swamps parallel to the main stream. Developed land that is covered with buildings does not absorb water. Development increases problems with chemical runoff. Houses and businesses that have lawns may use pesticides or fertilizers on their grass, and then that runs off into the groundwater. It is important that natural storage areas for rainwater are not filled in or used for building purposes.
How can floods be prevented?
If floods are a frequent thing, on a long term basis, growing trees may slow down the force of the flow of water.
