Dry flood proofing
B.
Flood walls
C.
Detention basins
D.
Elevation
Answer ( Option C)

Detention basins

Solution

• Flood-proofing measures for houses involve elevating structures, installing barriers like levees or floodwalls, waterproofing foundations, and using flood-resistant materials.
• Proper drainage, elevated utilities, and designing openings to minimize water entry enhance resilience, reducing the impact of flooding on homes and safeguarding inhabitants and property.
• A detention basin, also known as a stormwater detention pond, is a constructed area designed to temporarily hold and control stormwater runoff.
• It helps manage peak flow rates, reduce flooding, and control erosion by detaining excess water during heavy rainfall and gradually releasing it into the drainage system.
• It is not used for flood proofing rather it is used for flood control.
