Describe reasons,effects, preventive measures and benefits of floods
Answers
Explanation:
Backflow prevention check valves. These valves will stop floodwater from entering at vulnerable points where utility and sewer lines enter the facility.
Reinforced walls to resist water pressure and adequately seal walls to prevent or reduce seepage.
Watertight walls around equipment or work areas that are particularly susceptible to floodwater damage.
Floodwalls or levees outside the facility to keep flood waters at bay.
Permanent sump pumps with solar and backup power solutions. Backup power generators or battery supplies should be located well above the high-water mark.
Watertight barriers called flood shields. These will prevent the passage of water through doors, windows, ventilation shafts, or other openings.
Backup systems like portable pumps to remove flood water, alternate power sources (such as generators or gasoline-powered pumps), and battery-powered emergency lighting, located well above the high water mark.
