#FloodRisk

[primelatestnews]

What is the reason that despite so much progress there is no solution to avoid floods?

Despite significant progress in technology, engineering, and disaster preparedness, floods continue to pose a significant risk. Here are some of the key reasons why, despite advancements, floods remain a persistent problem:

Climate Change and Extreme Weather

Climate change has led to more frequent and severe weather events. Increased rainfall, intense storms, and rising sea levels are contributing to the risk of floods. As weather patterns become less predictable and more extreme, it is challenging to design infrastructure that can accommodate these changes.

Rapid Urbanization and Inadequate Planning

Rapid urbanization often leads to a reduction in natural drainage areas as cities expand. When urban development outpaces proper planning, it can result in inadequate drainage systems and increased surface runoff, leading to flooding. The growth of impervious surfaces like roads and buildings prevents water from being absorbed into the ground.

Environmental Degradation

Deforestation, soil erosion, and loss of wetlands can reduce the land's ability to absorb water, increasing the risk of floods. These environmental changes can be a result of human activities like deforestation, mining, or agricultural expansion.

Infrastructure Limitations

Existing infrastructure may not be designed to handle extreme weather events. As storms and rainfall become more intense, outdated or inadequate drainage systems struggle to cope, leading to flooding. Additionally, aging infrastructure may not be properly maintained, increasing the risk of failure during heavy rain.

Population Density and Vulnerability

High population density in flood-prone areas increases the potential impact of floods. People living in low-lying or coastal regions are more vulnerable to flooding, and relocation is often not a feasible solution due to economic and social reasons.

Political and Economic Constraints

Implementing large-scale flood prevention measures requires significant investment and political will. In many cases, there are economic or political constraints that hinder the development of robust flood prevention infrastructure.

We made an exciting, interesting, and super informative 3 day tour with bureaucrats from Turkish Government (Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and State Hydraulic Works). The group was here to visit various projects undertaken by the Finnish Government regarding flood risk management. So we went through Helsinki, Perniö, Salo, Turku and many other locations, meeting experts and making site visits. As always, it was a great pleasure and experience. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #atamantourshelsinki #atamantours #helsinkiguide #helsinkitour #walkingtours #privatetours #guidedtours #helsinkiwalks #helsinki #finland #visitfinland #discoverhelsinki #detailsofhelsinki #myhelsinki #helsinkiofficial #ourfinland #turkey #bureaucrats #ministry #agriculture #forestry #floodrisk #projects #eu #perniö #salo #turku #turkuharbour #castle #church (at Finland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg9RSfcMIo0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Increased risk of flooding due to population increase and global heating

Increased risk of flooding due to population increase and global heating

Climate change and population growth could drive a 26% rise in US floodrisk by 2050 – disproportionately impacting black and low-income groups– new research finds. The study, published in Nature Climate Change,models property-level changes in flood risk across the US over the nextthree decades. It finds that in 2020, the US saw an “average annualloss” of $32bn from flooding, but that cost could…
