Question

Suppose that a recent flood devastated a wildlife preserve in your area. Local leaders suggested organizing volunteers to plant trees in the damaged area. Evaluate you plan and support your reasoning.

Answer 1

Planting trees in the damaged region would cease flooding in the future. The trees assist to absorb water with the help of their roots, and it can absorb of about 20 percent of the water coming from the flood.  

Planting trees around the river could minimize the flooding height by up to 20 percent. Planting trees can absorb excess rainwater, can minimize the destruction done due to flooding, and can inhibit extreme run-offs. Even these plants can help in the dry season by releasing and providing clean water.
