tHE NEED TO STOP oVERPOPULATION THAT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN IF WE DON'T MAKE CHANGES
FLIGHT
FLOOD
Flooding and Overpopulation is a growing problem in America and around the world as well. Most flooding is caused by the heavy rainfall from storms and are traceable but unstoppable.
As the population grows, so does the population density, so major flooding has even deadlier consequences. Though there are things we can do to prevent or or at least postpone its effects to another later date.
The biggest death toll from a flood was in China in the year of 1931 with a count of 1 million to 4 million people. But since then we have improved and lowered it with our new systems and better housing. Though we can further improve things by adding in flood wells to lower flood levels and damage caused.
Another way we could is by protecting wetlands and planting trees.
Overpopulation is beginning to become true as there are more of us everyday, though as of right now we are about 2 billion people away from being at our carrying capacity scientists have said.
However there is a way to stop overpopulation. One of these ways is to empower women so they can break out of poverty. Another way is we could only have one child so the population dwindles every generation by at least one.
