River Landscapes in the UK: Flood Defences - Soft Engineering 🛡️ GCSE Geography Learning & Revision
The provided episode outlines several soft engineering strategies aimed at lessening the impact of flooding by working with natural processes.
These methods include issuing flood warnings to enable preparedness, implementing floodplain zoning to restrict construction in high-risk areas, and planting trees to enhance water interception and reduce runoff.
Additionally, we discuss river restoration, which involves returning rivers to their natural courses to allow natural flooding, and various preparation measures, such as building adaptations, to reduce flood damage.
While these approaches offer ecological and preventative benefits, we also acknowledge potential drawbacks like housing limitations and the inability of some strategies to completely prevent flooding.
