The 50 pages that link to Flood control, each with the reason it gives.

• FloodRelated: These interventions seek to limit inundation or its effects.

• Wetland conservationRelated: Intact wetlands can store or slow floodwaters, though effectiveness depends on landscape and event.

• PeatlandRelated: Peatlands can store and slowly release water, although effects vary by site and condition.

• DamRelated: Reservoirs can temporarily store floodwaters and reduce downstream peaks.

• ReservoirRelated: Reservoirs can temporarily hold runoff and reduce downstream flood peaks.

• HydropowerRelated: Reservoir operators may retain water to reduce downstream flood peaks, subject to operating rules.

• Managed retreatCompared with: Flood control manages water around settlement; retreat reduces exposure by changing where settlement occurs.

• Wetland restorationRelated: Restored wetlands can store floodwater and slow its movement through a watershed.

• Three Gorges DamRelated: Reservoir storage can reduce downstream flood peaks during high flows.

• Green infrastructureRelated: Distributed storage and infiltration can reduce runoff peaks and local flood exposure.

• Stormwater managementRelated: Stormwater management overlaps with flood control but also targets runoff pollution and ecological effects.

• Hydraulic engineeringRelated: Levees, reservoirs, channels, and drainage works are designed to manage flood flows.

• LeveeNarrower topic: Levees are one structural method of reducing flood exposure.

• Aswan High DamRelated: Regulating Nile releases is one of the dam’s central operating purposes.

• Inland waterwayRelated: Navigation works such as dams and levees can also change flood behavior.

• Peatland restorationRelated: Peatlands can store and slow water, though flood benefits depend on landscape conditions.

• River engineeringRelated: River engineering uses storage, barriers, and conveyance works to limit flood impacts.

• Urban floodingRelated: Traditional urban defenses seek to keep floodwater out or move it away quickly.

• Yangtze River floodsNarrower topic: Yangtze flood policy combines structural defenses with basin-wide risk management.

• Infrastructure investmentBroader topic: Protective infrastructure can reduce damage to communities and other public assets.

• Lake TexcocoRelated: Flooding repeatedly threatened settlements around the lake.

• River regulationRelated: Reservoirs can retain floodwater and lower downstream flood peaks.

• Wetland drainageRelated: Drainage canals have been built to move water away from settlements and fields.

• WadiRelated: Settlements and roads crossing wadis need protection from sudden floods.

• DikeNarrower topic: Dikes are one structural measure used to reduce flood exposure.

• Erosion controlCompared with: Flood control manages water hazards; erosion control specifically limits soil loss.

• Hydroelectric damRelated: Reservoir storage and controlled releases can reduce downstream flood peaks.

• Public worksBroader topic: Dams, levees, and drainage works protect communities from flood damage.

• Three Gorges ReservoirRelated: The reservoir stores part of the river’s seasonal floodwater before releasing it downstream.

• Grand Coulee DamRelated: Reservoir storage allows operators to manage some Columbia River flows and flood risks.

• Oxbow lakeRelated: Filling or reconnecting former channels can alter floodplain water storage.

• Yu the GreatNarrower topic: Yu’s legendary achievement is an ancient model of organized flood management.

• Mangla DamRelated: Reservoir storage can moderate some high flows, though Mangla is not a guarantee against floods.

• Water managementRelated: Storage, barriers, and channel operations can lower flood peaks.

• Red RiverRelated: Dikes and water-management works are central to protecting the Red River Delta.

• Hai RiverNarrower topic: Dikes, reservoirs, and channels regulate floods across the Hai's densely settled basin.

• Laguna de BayRelated: Lake-level regulation is tied to flood risks in communities around its shores.

• Red River of the SouthRelated: Levees, reservoirs, and channel works manage recurring Red River floods.

• Sup'ung DamRelated: Reservoir operation can affect downstream flooding as well as electricity production.

• Buckingham CanalRelated: Parts of the canal have been used to carry excess water through urban areas.

• Erlang ShenRelated: Erlang Shen’s legends cast him as a force that subdues dangerous waters.

• Flood managementRelated: Structural controls can limit inundation, though they cannot eliminate flood risk.

• Kootenay RiverRelated: Reservoirs in the basin store runoff to reduce downstream flood peaks.

• New Croton DamRelated: Reservoir storage and releases affect downstream flows during high-water conditions.

• North Jiangsu Main Irrigation CanalRelated: The canal helps route and regulate water during flood-management operations.

• Oroville DamRelated: Reservoir storage allows releases from the Feather River to be regulated during storms.

• Upland and lowlandRelated: Lowland settlements often require flood management because water gathers there.

• Waru WaruRelated: Canals provide routes for water around beds during periods of heavy rainfall or flooding.

• Yangtze DeltaRelated: Levees, reservoirs, and drainage systems protect settlements while changing river and wetland processes.

• Yangtze PlainRelated: Embankments and reservoirs constrain floods across a densely settled plain.
