Flood Control Programs

Flood control programs are coordinated efforts to reduce or manage the impact of flooding. They include infrastructure like dams, levees, and reservoirs that hold or redirect excess water. They also involve planning, regulations, and community actions to prevent disasters and protect lives and property. These programs aim to control water flow during heavy rains or storms, minimizing damage to homes, roads, and ecosystems, while maintaining natural water movement as much as possible. Overall, they combine engineering, environmental management, and policy to keep flood risks in check and promote safer, resilient communities.
