The recent nation hazard of flood has been on rampage, ranging from Suleja, Lekki and other parts of the country needs individuals contribution to stop Flooding.
To stop displacement of habitants.
To stop loss of properties and money.
To find solution to less farming wash out.


Everyone has a part to play in this hazard.

1. Soil test: This process is the scientific test carried out on a plot of land before building. it helps us to know the porosity of a particular topography areas .

2. Stop Disposing of waste: Many Nigeria's from the rural and most sub-urban area dwellers dumps domestic waste on the drainage system/channels, which hinders water from passage to the river. there by, given rise to outflow of water during heavy
rainfall.

3. Prevent deforestation: cutting down of trees and river plants should be abolish in our rural and Urban environment.

4. Evacuation of river bank sand for building in our environment should be stop.

.how do you prevent flood by going for soil test?


That is after soil test the flood will stop automatically?

5. Approve Plan for Housing: The government has a drawn plan of the prospective urban drainage system, so during survey plan, the surveyor draws out the drainage system needed before the architectural plan for building .


Note : I stand to be corrected

That's my 2 cent,

you can add yours

[/quote

would you build on a land prone to flood,
especially the low land areas of our country?
how do you determine that, if you don't test the soil.?

Except your talking of semi urban area.


In real urban area you hardly find a forest......

How do absence of River plants help to prevent flood??

I don't understand the reason why you need it absent.....especially in rural areas as some of them are very important in building construction..... Serving as scaffold. Etc

[quote author=jacko007 post=58337249][/quote]Is your topic preventing flood?? Or preventive measures before you build??

[quote author=jacko007 post=58337249][/quote]Is your topic ways to prevent flood??

Or steps to be taken before building a house??

Abolish means to put an End to a condition.

you made mention of using them in building construction (Scaffold). there are other types of scaffold e.g Iron scaffolds.
Cutting them (River plants) down gives free passage of water from it's river banks.

And you think its cheap to use iron scaffold??

Or using it to support a form work??
Like decking a 300 * 100 slab??

Instead of cutting all down, why not replan/ construction drainage collector or cut some and leave others to serve its useful purpose.....depending on the topography
