Step 1
This helps in reducing the amount of surface runoff and slowing down the flow of water during heavy rainfall or flooding events. Option A suggests that green spaces increase the flow of water to drains. While green spaces can help reduce the overall volume of Show more…

How can floodplains be beneficial for the environment? It fertilizes soils surrounding, provides water for irrigation, and recharges groundwater. All of the above. Which of the following is believed to be the cause behind unsustainable societies? Population growth, poverty, isolation from nature. All of the above. What are the best solutions to control flood damage? Allow agricultural development and urban sprawls on wetlands, get rid of dams and levees, avoid channelization, build dams and levees. All of the above are solutions.

Due to deforestation, the soil gets eroded by the rainwater so it changes the soil property and reduces the groundwater. The way to solve this condition is A) building construction on water infiltration areas B) replacing some areas become industrial places C) removing the natural vegetation D) planting trees on barren areas
