MEDC: VARIOUS FLOOD SCHEMES HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED AROUND THE MEDC COUNTRIES. DIKES ARE A GREAT CHOICE FOR COUNTRIES WITH A GOODS ECOMY, ALTHOUGH IT ARE EXPENSIVE , IT HAS PROOVED MANY THAT THE MANTAIN THE WATER AWAY FROM THE CITIZENS, BUSINESS AND CROPS. REINFORCING THE LEEVES AND BUILDING HIGH TECH FLOOD WARNING SYSTEMS DECREASES NOTABLY THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AND LOSSES.ANOTHER WAY IS CONSTRUCTING ENBANKMENTS, WHICH ARE HIGHT RIVER BANKS. THESE MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN CERTAIN SEASONS WHEN FLOODING ARE COMMON ALTHOUGH THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND DONT LAST LONG (UNSUSTAINABLE).
