Discuss three different measures hat could be taken to control the risk of flood damage.?

Answer 1

Keep wetlands viable...

plan for additional runoff from developed areas... and provide for recharge of the water table with it...

don't overbuild an area.

Answer 2

Boy this sounds like a homework question ... but OK:

1: Do not put property in low areas or areas that are likely to
flood.

2: Design property to handle incoming water without harm
(such as having the bottom floor be cement and used only
for storage)

3: (worst, in my opinion) Beef up levies and other infrastructure
so that the floods don't happen to begin with.

I say worst, because mother nature has billions of years
of being a ***** while the Army Corp of Engineers has
a pretty limited budget.

These guys pull off miracles - but its abit much to ask them
to do it on this scale perpetually.

Answer 3

Avoidance - don't build in a flood prone area.

Safety - improve flood control systems, dams, levees and so forth.

Reduction - reduce loss by using flood prone areas for less valuable purposes. Build structures that are survivable in floods, or cheaply replaced.
