In 3–5 sentences, describe flood mitigation techniques the federal government might use.
I just need ideas or maybe links to websites I can research at. Thanks!
I found this on "Brainly" and thought it would be a good kick-starter for you:
Improving drainage in the cities by ensuring that drainage channels are large enough to handle flood waters and that they are never blocked. Clogged drainages impede flow of water resulting to a rise in water levels in the city.
Ensure proper enforcement of laws that ensure that people do not settle on wetlands and riparian land. Wetlands are natural drainages for water and settling on them is akin to blocking drainages in a built environment.
Constructing flood gates and flood walls to redirect floodwaters away from populated areas. This is especially implemented in built environments that are in low-lying lands and prone to flooding.
2. by absorbing energy from storm waves.
3. meeting current needs.
4.floodplain area for public use.
5.Green roofs act as natural insulation.
6.They cause shorelines to move inland.
7. reduced amounts of greenhouse gases
8.groundwater recharge
9. Large, coarse grains of sand should be used since they remain on the beach longer.
10. Trees protect the main crop from overexposure to the sun.
11. The town should build the diversion channels because this option is more cost efficient.
12. Both are hard structures that reduce erosion caused by waves.
