Warning and evacuations systems can help to reduce casualties in a flood. River levels can also be constantly monitored to predict the time, place, and amount of future rain and snow falls. Other than reducing casualties, preventive measures can also be taken. One method would be to reinforce coastal defenses with slabs of concrete linked together. Dikes and flood barriers can also help in preventing floods. Terracing on hills would be one of the best ways. The dikes at the end of each step helps to hold water for the soil to absorb, thus, reducing the chances of floods occuring. Back (Human Causes and Solutions) | Next (Case Studies) |
