The diagrams provided, depict flooding disasters that take place in an UK city, influencing residents’ lives, and illustrate the potential solutions to overcome this issue.
From a broad perspective, applying alterations in the location of the main areas of the town or building dams to avoid flooding are the current considerations but have their own merits and demerits that can not be denied.
In detail, regarding the first strategy, rearranging three crucial parts of the town, including the industrial park, residential area, and commercial buildings, may protect the environment but is not worth it financially because of the high cost of reconstruction.
On the other hand, constructing the dams at the ends of rivers A and B to keep the water in large reservoirs and prevent flood, is cost-effective. In contrast, it may have a significant impact on the land that could result in unwanted consequences such as putting the environment in danger.
