There were many closeable bulkheads that could seal the ship up to deck D. The ship could survive with any two or the first four compartments flooded. Unfortunately the first five compartments flooded. Tough luck eh?
At the bottom of the ship the hull was doubled and was called a double bottom.
Dikes and levees prevent flooding by forming a barrier against rising waters.
Thomas Andrews designed the Titanic. He went down with the ship.
He designed the ship and claimed it was unsinkable.
Prevent Propeller Strikes
The ship was designed and built to stay afloat if four watertight compartments were breached, but the iceberg breached five compartments, so the ship couldn't stay afloat
Closing all watertight doors between compartments can limit flooding, but if the pumps fail the ship will get heavy and tip over anyway.
A basement overflow drain is designed to prevent flooding by providing an additional outlet for excess water to escape from the basement. It helps to redirect water away from the foundation of the building, reducing the risk of water seeping into the basement and causing flooding.
levees are used to prevent flooding of a river to the adjoing country-basically prevent flooding.
A levee is a man-made structure typically built along rivers to prevent flooding by confining the flow of water within a certain area. While it is not a natural landform, it does alter the landscape and impacts natural processes.
A catch basin is a structure designed to collect and divert excess water during heavy rainstorms. It works by capturing rainwater and directing it away from streets and buildings, helping to prevent flooding in urban areas.

There are a number of reasons why trees could prevent flooding. These trees can absorb the excess water for example.
no
marshlands prevent flooding to a nearby town by temporarily storing water
a levee
A wall built to prevent flooding is typically called a flood barrier or a flood defense wall. These walls are designed to hold back rising water levels and protect properties and infrastructure from flood damage.
Battleships are designed with a hull that displaces enough water to keep them afloat. The hull is usually made of materials that are less dense than water, such as steel or aluminum, allowing the ship to remain buoyant. Additionally, the ship's compartments are sealed to prevent water from flooding in.
