Mechanisms, known as dolphins, ensure that the timber-frame house rises with the water level.

Most dams are used to supply water to the community, but they can, when purpose built, also provide some flood mitigation for events up to their flood storage capacity. ]]> 2022-10-28 00:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rwren9/vus6v1892c9od6av/wish/2359827732 Green Infrastructure ahall469 https://padlet.com/rwren9/vus6v1892c9od6av/wish/2359852092 urban Green Infrastructure such as green spaces, sustainable urban drainage and green roofs all help to reduce flooding. By implementing green infrastructure into urban environments it would not only help resist floods but it would also have benefits to the environment in general like;

  • maintaining and restoring biodiversity, by strengthening the functionality of ecosystems. 
  • provision of nature protection areas which can also be valuable for recreation and increasing life quality. 
  • contributing to the development of a green economy by providing jobs and business opportunities in addition to environmental advantages.
