Acquiring Flood System Control Deal

Floodings remain a perpetual problem, not just in the country but also overseas. It often

occurs in slum areas where drainage systems and sanitation are ailing. This issue involves the

duties of those in authority as well as the observance of residents. Regardless of repercussions,

we can benefit from it. Establishing a new system of organizing rainwater to be collected and

used to capture energy as it falls, we can use it as alternative energy. Moreover, this system may

also be the answer to flooding.

For a satisfying result, begin improving water management wherein water waste

treatment plant is not interrupted by large quantities of rainwater. The mentioned is mainly for

sanity, fundamental to protect the health of many ecosystems, and utilize water. To put it

accordingly, we set apart rainwater from the sewer system. One of the drains manages household

sewage and water waste, where the pipe leads to the water waste treatment plant. The other drain

collects rainwater or stormwater, where the pipe leads to the hydropower plant. Proceeding,

hydropower plants located usually in dams convert the kinetic energy of flowing rainwater into

mechanical energy through turbines. The force of falling rainwater turns the turbines;

simultaneously, causing the armature to rotate rapidly. The armature is within the poles of a

horseshoe-type magnet. When turned, the magnetic field cut. Hence, the magnetic field will

interrupt the electrons to induce a flow of electric current. Lastly, transmission lines conduct

electricity to homes and businesses. Some factors affect the quantity of power produced by

hydropower plants. One is the fall distance of water which depends on the size of the dam. The

higher the barrier, the farther they fall, and the more power produced. Hence, the distance of fall

is directly proportional to the quantity of power produced. Second is the amount of falling water

which depends on the amount of water that the river has. The bigger the amount of water there is,
the more water is falling, and the more power produced. Hence, the amount of falling water is

directly proportional to the quantity of power produced.

Subsequent to water management is disaster management, wherein we discuss what to

conduct in order to deal with humanitarian aspects of emergencies. Such is very high in priority

for its objective is to remain secure during and after a disaster. Before a disaster, forecasting is

fulfilled in order to give prior information regarding the occurrence of floods. In addition,

prevent runoffs by managing water forms prone to flooding. This is done through afforestation or

having defenses. Namely in Toronto, Canada where defenses such as weirs, small dams built

across a river to control the upstream water level, are used. Besides weirs, dikes are used which

are barriers to hold back water forms. This is done in Venice, Italy, and Manitoba, Canada.

During a disaster, victims are consistently guided on what to do. They shall learn the responses

to be applied to the disaster. Flash floods are common in the Philippines; therefore, don't wait for

instructions since you need to move to higher ground immediately. Definitely, you will move

your belonging with you. Get electrical devices or appliances over the ground. Also, have a far

distance from areas known to flood abruptly. After a disaster, always follow what the authorities

are advising you to do.

Preference of communities to Hydropower for it's a clean fuel source is one good step. It

is fueled by water, an endless cycle, making it considered renewable energy. Compared to others

that burn fossil fuels, such as coal, hydropower does not pollute the air. There is no denying that

hydropower has many opposing effects on our satisfaction; withal, there will be progress through

time. This system will solve flooding and mitigate energy which is a big problem in our country.

Lastly, we should get to the bottom of these negative problems, not rejecting plans to avoid

them.
