Flood control strategies are methods used to manage and reduce the impact of flooding. These strategies include building dams and levees to hold back water, creating retention basins to store excess rainwater, and restoring wetlands that can absorb floodwaters. Another approach is implementing floodplain zoning, which restricts development in high-risk areas. Additionally, early warning systems and community education help prepare residents for potential floods, allowing for timely evacuations and minimizing damage. These combined efforts aim to protect lives, property, and the environment from the adverse effects of flooding.
