Flood Risk Reduction

Flood risk reduction involves strategies and measures to lessen the impact of flooding on communities and property. This includes constructing barriers like levees and dams, maintaining natural floodplain areas, encouraging proper land use, and implementing early warning systems. The goal is to prevent floodwaters from causing damage or to reduce their effects when flooding occurs. These efforts help protect lives, save resources, and preserve the environment by managing and minimizing the risks associated with rising water levels during heavy rains or storms.
