Answer:
♡Floods can be controlled by redirecting excess water to purpose-built canals or floodways, which in turn divert the water to temporary holding ponds or other bodies of water where there is a lower risk or impact to flooding.
♡Preventive actions include:
●Integrating land and water management to protect soils from erosion, salinization, and other forms of degradation.
Protecting the vegetative cover, which can be a major instrument for soil conservation against wind and water erosion.
●Integrating the use of land for grazing and farming where conditions are favorable, allowing for a more efficient cycling of nutrients within the agricultural systems.
●Applying a combination of traditional practices with locally acceptable and locally adapted land use technologies.
●Giving local communities the capacity to prevent desertification and to manage dryland resources effectively.
●Turning to alternative livelihoods that do not depend on traditional land uses, such as dryland aquaculture, greenhouse agriculture and tourism-related activities, is less demanding on local land and natural resources, and yet provides sustainable income.
