Answer 2

Floods can affect any country during rainy seasons. During floods, most water is simply wasted without being used. Floods can be a good source of water for irrigation purpose in places that receive less rainfall.

Inundation canals are one of the most effective ways to best make use of flood water. This type of water drainage system can easily be constructed that can prove helpful source of water for low land regions.

You can also try and divert the flood water to form a small and narrow stream or river that flows nearby to the land that is rich for cultivation, but lacks water source. The water from the stream can be used for irrigation.

Another major ways is to try and construct a dam or check dam nearby to the flood water such that it is not allowed to flow back to the sea or ocean. The dam can be good source of water on regular basis for many months.
