How to manage flood

How to manage flood?πŸ€œπŸ€›πŸ€«πŸ§‍♂️

1. Planting vegetation to retain excess water, terrace slopes to reduce slope flow, and building alluviums (man-made channels to divert water from flooding), construction of dykes, dams, reservoirs or holding tanks to store extra water during flood periods.

Building-scale rainwater retention tanks collect rainwater runoff from roofs to reduce the amount of water that flows into the city's streets and waterways.πŸ€œπŸ€›

Flood management is the technique and strategy to reduce the risk and damage from flooding. In the case of rivers, flooding occurs when the river bursts its banks and water spills into the floodplains. There are different strategies to manage floods, and the government usually chooses which strategies are used. Flood management is very important for a country, city, or people who live in the place that's flooded. 

Natural flood management involves using techniques to restore or mimic natural functions to help store more water in the catchment and slow the flow of water downstream. Methods include leaky dams, peatland restoration, storage areas, and tree planting.
