How to Battle flooding


It's rainy season again in the Philippines and recently we have seen the flooding in some areas in the country.  Some were knee deep and others were above their rooftops.  We may blame this on climate change and human activities.  But I think each of us has a role and share to make to stop or if not atleast minimize the flood.

Here are some of the ways we can do:

1) Plant more trees and avoid cutting them.
  - Trees roots help keep the soil more stable.

2) Throw your garbage properly
  - Each of us should place our garbage in designated areas.  Don't throw the garbages on rivers, streams or any bodies of water. 

3)  Make/Repair/Replace/De-clog our drainage system.
  - Some areas have no drainage systems.  Others have but very small or it is clog with garbages, plastics or soils.

4) Rainwater harvesting
 - Rainwater harvesting is the accumulating and storing of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. (from Wikipedia)
