Question

What are the disadvantages and advantages of those who live on deltas

Answer 1

Explanation:

Deltas are sinking at a much greater rate than sea levels are rising.” ... Human effects on river deltas range from engineering tributaries and river channels, extracting groundwater and fossil fuels, trapping sediments behind dams, reducing peak flows of rivers and varied agricultural practices, he said.

River deltas are characteristically low-lying regions and crisscrossed by a network of small tributaries. This makes them very prone to widespread flooding when hurricanes (also known as tropical cyclones or typhoons) make landfall. ... It is the water that kills most hurricane victims, not the wind.

Answer 2

Answer:

disadvantages =

Deltas are located on the low lying plains. This may lead to constant flooding on the farm which results to crops doing poorly and consequently poor yields. 2) Since the deltas are found at the dying stages of the river, most of the river pollutants will accumulate in this slow draining regions

advantages =

Deltas absorb runoff from both floods (from rivers) and storms (from lakes or the ocean). Deltas also filter water as it slowly makes its way through the delta's distributary network. This can reduce the impact of pollution flowing from upstream. Deltas are also important wetland habitats
