BENTHOS
1. Microbenthos
Add esturine environments Benthos community composititon in subtitle environments varies according to vary temporally due to variations in temperature, currents, upwelling, pelagic productivity, rainfall, and river runoff.[1]
HOW ABOUT A THREATS SECTION IN BENTHOS?
OCEAN CURRENT
- Delete submarine river. Move distribution list to bottom + add info to caption: (It records information about currents (speed, direction, depth, temperature).
- Argo section[2] move to bottomn of Thermohalocline section.
- Effects on climate & ecology. Add nutrients bit. Tweak eel writing.
DO NOT FOREGET 1) 10 degrees 2) subsurface currents
FLOOD CONTROL
Terminology
There are a number of similar terms that are all used interchangeably: Flood control, flood protection and flood alleviation are all terms that mean "the detention and/or diversion of water during flood events for the purpose of reducing discharge or downstream inundation".[3] Flood control methods manage water to prevent floodwaters from reaching a particular area.
Flood mitigation is a related but separate concept describing a broader set of strategies taken to reduce flood risk and potential impact while improving resilience against flood events. These methods include prevention, prediction (which enables flood warnings and evacuation), proofing (e.g.: zoning regulations), physical control (nature-based solutions and physical structures like dams and flood walls) and insurance (e.g.: flood insurance policies).[4][5]
Flood control and mitigation methods can be structural or non-structural:
- Structural flood mitigation or control is the reduction of the effects of a flood using physical solutions, such as reservoirs, levees, dredging and diversions.
- Non-structural flood mitigation includes for example land-use planning, advanced warning systems and flood insurance. Further examples for this type of flood control are: "zoning ordinances and codes, flood forecasting, flood proofing, evacuation and channel clearing, flood fight activities, and upstream land treatment or management to control flood damages without physically restraining flood waters".[6]
Flood management (or flood risk management) is a broader term that includes mitigating and preparing for flooding disasters, and providing risk analysis for example through the practice of flood risk assessment.[7] In the context of natural hazards and disasters, risk management involves "plans, actions, strategies or policies to reduce the likelihood and/or magnitude of adverse potential consequences, based on assessed or perceived risks".[8]
Flood relief methods are used to reduce the effects of flood waters or high water levels.
