520			_aExplains the role of the landscape architect in preventing flooding. Argues that while there is a limit to the amount that can be done with major flooding, they can influence the frequency and severity of the more minor events which occur more frequently and affect greater numbers of people. Main areas for controlling floods are to change runoff at source, to increase the absorption capacity of soils, and also with river restoration techniques. Concludes that careful landscape design can alleviate flooding. A mis-use of the land surface with urbanisation and the unwise location of properties is often behind many types of flooding.
