Flood Controls

Attempts to control rivers have increased because human technology has progressed. Humans should continue to attempt to control rivers. As it says before, human technology is progressing, and the new technology can help us control the floods happening in hopefully not harming ways. If humans have a successful attempt to control the rivers then people around the rivers wouldn’t have to wait until certain times to plant their crops. The Egyptians controlled their rivers, and with the technology we have today we should be able to successfully control rivers. If humans don’t attempt to control rivers, some farmers would only be able to plant crops one season. Thus decreasing the amount of food that we have. Another good reason for humans to control rivers is that a low flood could lead to famine and a high flood ruins irrigation works. Attempts to control rivers that won’t really harm the environment is natural levees. These are usually the first solution to the flooding problems. Comparing this to the Nile River,  the Nile River didn’t have any flood control. The Nile River flooded ruining irrigation, and this wouldn’t have happened if they had flood control. As you can see, humans should use their technology to control the rivers.
