Detailed explanation-1: -Forests can soak up excess rainwater, preventing run-offs and damage from flooding. By releasing water in the dry season, forests can also help provide clean water and mitigate the effects of droughts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elevate the furnace, water heater, air conditioner and other utilities. Install “check valves” in sewer traps to prevent flood water back ups. Construct interior barriers to stop low level floodwater from entering basements. Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil, or is present either at or near the surface of the soil all year or for varying periods of time during the year, including during the growing season.
