Thanks to technologic advances and our increased knowledge of weather and floods,we do a better job of predicting time and height of large floods.
Increases in flood activity can lead to pollution through soil erosion and stormwater runoff, which depletes soils of vital nutrients. The result of soil oversaturation is landslides.
Satellites, lightning monitoring systems, radar, and rain gauges are the primary techniques used to detect severe rainfall linked with flash floods.
Floodwaters have the power to devastate wildlife habitats. Rivers and habitats can become polluted by toxic floodwater. On farms, silt and sediment can ruin crops. As rivers fill to their bank-full capacity, natural levées and river banks may be removed.
Some flood control techniques date back to ancient times. These techniques include creating floodways, terracing hillsides to restrict flow downwards, and growing vegetation to capture extra water (man-made channels to divert floodwater).
