Environmental challenges (floods).

Floods is one of the most environmental challenge to human beings. Floods is a key cause of siltation in which excess water is carried with  soil from the land and the soil is washed away into rivers. Siltation on not being prevented causes landslides. Landslide causes destruction of land and can even destroy homes that are close to them. 

Floods also causes stagnantation of water . Stagnant water can be a breeding place for mosquitoes which are the major causes of malaria. Floods contains hailstones which can cause destruction on crops. Excess water on crops can cause low yield and even death of the crops.

Floods can't be prevented but prevention measures can be taken against it's effects. Planting trees can help prevent stagnantation of water through absorbing the excess water by the trees. Building gabions can also help prevent siltation and landslides.

First scene:landslide due to floods.

Second scene:stagnant water.

Third scene:poor crop yield.

Fourth scene:death of crops on parts of the land .

Fifth scene:creating sac gabions to help reduce landslide.

Sixth scene:tree plantation to help reduce landslide and water stagnantation
