Flood warning systems

Floodplain Zoning
Plant trees
(increase evapotranspiration - this reduces the amount of water that reaches the river)
Concrete beds and banks
(increase the velocity of the river)
Dams
(these control the flow of the water in the upper course and thus reduce flooding. e.g. Donzere on the Rhone)
reduces the likelihood of future flooding
reduces the impact of future floods
