The provided diagrams illustrate how floods influence a village and suggest two feasible solutions.
Overall, most of the village will be flooded when the floods happen. Therefore, two schemes are proposed to minimize the effect of the floods are relocating facilities or building two dams to contain the flood water.
There are two rivers in the village, one running from the north side (river A), the other from the east side (river B), and both meet in the middle, where the floods occur. The intersection of the two rivers divides the village into three parts, including the industrial zone to the northwest, housing to the east side, and commercial buildings located to the south of the cross.
The first solution suggests that the facilities should be repositioned. Particularly, the industrial estate and residential zone will move northwards, while the commercial buildings will relocate to the south in order to distance themselves from the center of the flooding area. This measure is eco-friendly, it will require high funding.
Moving to the second solution, two dams are proposed to be constructed on the upper stream of river A and the downstream of river B. Additionally, two reservoirs will also be erected with the aim of containing more water, which can help minimize the volumes and the probability of floods occurring. Despite the low cost required and no changes to the pristine land, this method will affect the land use of the area.
