  - - - Monitoring the amount of rainfall and the change in river discharge
      - Knowledge about the characteristics of the drainage basin and type of storm is valuable for determining the possible severity of the flooding
    - - Straightening, widening and deepening the river channel by dredging and clearing vegetation
      - Use of sandbags and pumps for example positioning power Adapt houses,sockets to 1.5m above ground level
      - Soft engineering projects, such as afforestation, controlled flooding of meadowland and storage basins.
      - Land-use planning to use higher land for settlements, restrict development on floodplains or increase green space

    - - increase in food prices
      - a decrease in land prices
    - - a decrease in unemployment
      - farmers lose money
      - water sources dry up, forcing people and animals to travel long distances for water Introduction of water
      - health problems because of poor nutrition and famine and dehydration
      - rural communities may break up as farmers are forced to relocate
  - - - Government stockpiling supplies of water, food and medicine
      - Agricultural improvements such as planting shelterbelts to reduce wind and evaporation, building low banks across a slope (bunds) to encourage infiltration and fencing to control overgrazing
      - Water conservation such as using storage tanks, spray irrigation, planting drought-tolerant crops
      - Increase water supplies by dams and precipitation reservoirs,
    - - Monitoring and temperature
