First, one thing that is being done to reduce the impact of a flood is that people build dams to control the flow of water. This action is somewhat working, however, something else we can do is build taller dams and make dams stronger. Next, another thing that is being done to reduce the impact of a flood is that people build levees to keep rivers from overflowing. This action is somewhat working, however, something else we can do is build a ditch.
