''How can you withstand that kind of insult?!''
Withstand basically means to resist damage. A sentence would be "The tree-house dad built wasn't strong enough to withstand the hurricane."
Build them out of materials and to designs specified to withstand tornado force winds.
BIL is basic insulation level as per you or in other words it would be "basic impulse level" which implies the limit up to which an insulator could withstand impulse due to lightning strikes. Impulse is generated on the insulation due to the high voltage surges and spikes due to lightning strikes. BIL is generally much higher as compared to power frequency withstand voltage. In other words BIL is lightning Impulse withstand voltage. Impulse withstand voltage is the voltage that is generated due to switching operation and it's much higher than power frequency withstand, but BIL or the lightning withstand voltage is a the voltage level that an insulation can withstand during surge or lightning strikes.
The flood defence prevents the water from getting out into houses, parks, towns etc. :)
The poorer a people, the less substantial (sturdy) the housing which can easily be washed away in a flood. When homes are demolished, usually everything owned by those same poor was also lost in the flood, so they are left with nothing.
To help them withstand liquid pressure that increases as the density of water increases.Dams are also made stronger to prevent the water of the reservoir to drain out and cause flood
sand bags are used for fooding because they are helpful to withstand two inches of flooding or less.So sometimes they can be reliable on. And other times they wont help at all.
When designing a water barrier wall for flood protection, key features to consider include the height and strength of the wall, the materials used, the foundation stability, the ability to withstand water pressure, and the overall effectiveness in preventing water from entering the protected area.

An assembly of gods started the flood in the Gilgamesh flood epic.
A flood is when the water comes out of its normal path.
It means, if it will flood or not and how many inches it will flood.
