The diagrams illustrate the problem of flooding in a town in the UK and present two possible solutions.
Overall, the town is located between two rivers, which leads to flooding in certain areas. Two solutions are suggested: constructing flood barriers and building a dam with a reservoir.
In the current situation, River A flows from the north and joins River B, which runs through the town. The industrial park is situated near River A, while the residential area is located on the opposite side. Commercial buildings are positioned along River B. Due to the flow of water, flooding occurs mainly near the residential area and along the riverbanks.
The first solution proposes the construction of flood barriers along both sides of River B. These barriers aim to prevent water from spreading into nearby areas, especially protecting the residential zone and commercial buildings.
The second solution involves building a dam across River A, creating a reservoir upstream. Another dam is also placed near River B. This system is designed to control the water flow and reduce the risk of flooding in the town
