Which of the following is NOT a flood proofing measure for houses?
-
A.
Dry flood proofing
-
B.
Flood walls
-
C.
Detention basins
-
D.
Elevation
Correct Answer:
C. Detention basins
Explanation:
Detention basins are not considered a flood-proofing measure for individual houses because they are community-level infrastructure projects. While dry flood-proofing, flood walls, and elevation are structural techniques applied directly to a specific building to reduce its vulnerability, detention basins are large-scale engineering works designed to manage regional stormwater runoff by temporarily storing water and releasing it at a controlled rate to protect entire neighborhoods or areas.
