The idea of having a Flood Mitigation program is to have IN PLACE "FLOOD CONTROL and MITIGATION technology before it rains/floods. e.g. you can study the sun to see how hot it is. or just wear a hat and use sun blocker at the beach. Same for flooding. ID flood prone/flood plain areas. make draining ditches or canals. For long term control plant trees near the river. Most people forget a hearty tree can use as littlie one gallon of water a month OR drink/respire up to 300 gals/day. Calculate the amount of flood water and plant trees accordingly.
