Is there any way to control floods and hurricanes?

Question

It is time our scientists find out the root cause of the natural disasters and try to find out solution, Like they have found out for rains. Today artificial rain is possible.

There must be a way out for floods and hurricanes . What do you say?

Answer 1

TO CONTROL FLOODS

    *  Build dams and levees

    * Make a drainage system

    * Dredge or widen rivers

    * Construct flood walls- walls that block floods

    * Use flood gates- gates that let water pass down rivers in a controlled way

We can control floods but we can't control   hurricanes

Answer 2

I think natural disasters can never be avoided..

we can only Hope & Pray for a better tommorrow :)

Answer 3

We can´t control nature, but we can prevent dissasters from happening. Meteorologist do their best to have accuracy in forecast, specially when a flood or a hurricane occurs.

For hurricanes, they set aproximately the path, intensity and last of each one of them, so people can have a warning, and so they can be safe.

About floods, sometimes it´s not only because of the rain, but because of the city, or exceed the river´s capacity, so you can´t be so accurate with that, but you can see a big storm coming, sometimes with few hours (this has to do with convective storms that last a few hours only, they form, precipitate and dissapear).

Hope to have helped.

Answer 4

it wz thr in sidney sheldon's 'r u afraid f d dark' bt as of nw,i dnt think it's possible...

Answer 5

Both are related to the conflict between Man made structures and Nature's path. If the rivers are properly desilted and not encroached, the flood will not be a problem. Things which are occuring every year or two years does not need deep study. Focus on water system, building dams, developing canals and distributories will ease the situation. It is told that most of the rivers still empty 70% of their waters into the sea.

Regarding hurricane, well, it is Nature's fury which cannot be tamed. But the climatic conditions are responsible for cyclones. Trees, forests play a protective role in controlling the climate. We are deforesting the lands at a fast pace. Secondly, strong shelters are required for the poorer population.

We are both passive to the issues and contributing furthur to the Natural calamities
