One of the best ways to help reduce the dangers of flood is to make new laws which restrict human activity, such as building, in a floodplain. Some areas of the country will not allow construction in areas which have flooded over the last 100 years. This law is called the "100 floodplain law". Another way to reduce the dangers of flood is to reduce stream side erosion. If the banks of rivers erode, it is easier for the banks to wash out and flood surrounding areas. Another way to control the dangers of floods is to check dikes and levies designed to keep flood water out. Levy and dike failure were responsible for much of the catastrophe in the great New Orleans flood. Finally, flood dangers can be reduced by careful water control at reservoirs and damns.

What are some ways we can reduce the negative impact people have on floods?
To reduce the negative impact people have on floods, we can implement better land-use planning that avoids construction in flood-prone areas. Enhancing natural landscapes, such as wetlands and forests, can improve water absorption and reduce runoff. Additionally, investing in sustainable infrastructure, like permeable pavements and green roofs, can help manage stormwater more effectively. Public education on flood preparedness and responsible environmental practices also plays a crucial role in minimizing flood risks.

How does a tree prevent flashfloods in the plain?
Trees help prevent flash floods in plains by absorbing excess water from the soil through their roots and canopy. This reduces the amount of water runoff, allowing water to be stored and slowly released into the ground. Trees also help stabilize soil and reduce erosion, which further contributes to preventing flash floods in plains.
Do rainwater help or hurt?
In ways, it can be both. It does help vegitation, it can provide drinking water if you know how that works, and it can also help the air a little too. But rain water can also cause floods, and it can be very deadly if a powerline is downed and it is raining or was raining and a puddle has accumulated around the line. So technically, it can go both ways.
Do forests help reduce global warming and help us fight floods?
Yes, forests remove carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, form the atmosphere, release the oxygen, and store the carbon for hundreds of years.Forests also stabilise the ground, preventing erosion, subsidence and topsoil runoff.
