The drainage system is also key in preventing flash floods in urban areas. Lack of maintenance causes the drainage system to lack function and fail to lessen and prevent floods.

As for urban development, it is important to have urban planning where the purposes of every part of land in urban area should be determined and carried out strictly. For example, some areas would be the reserve area and should not be used for commercial purposes.

Builders must acquire permission before buildings are erected. That will ensure that waterways are not blocked. Also, drainage systems must be covered and kept free from objects that chock them. This way, water can quickly run through if it rains and minimizes any chance of town flooding. Drainage systems should also be covered to prevent litter from getting into them.

During the heavy rains, trees can reduce the risk of flooding. Trees can prevent soil erosion, reducing sediment going into rivers and increasing water absorption into the ground. This slows rainwater running off into swollen streams and helps lower peak flood levels.

Natural flood management consists of small measures to reduce the flow of water before it reaches larger rivers. Measures might include using small barriers in ditches and fields, or notches cut into embankments, to divert the water into open land. Letting pools form outside the main channel of a river means the water is temporarily removed from the main flow - reducing the power of the floodwaters.

Effects include loss of life, as unsuspecting individuals may be washed away and possibly drown. Floods can damage buildings and mainly houses which are made of wood, which in turn will cause many to be displaced. It can also cause loss of power transmission and make it difficult to travel.
