QUESTION :Identify an issue in your


environment and write a comprehensive
problem statement on how to solve.

DATE: 28-8-2023

TITLE : Assignment
The comprehensive problem statement on how to solve the issue is as
follow:
 The identified issue in my environment is Flooding
Flooding in the environment refers to the overflow of water onto
normally dry land, often caused by heavy rainfall, melting snow, or
rapid urban development. It can lead to extensive damage to
property, infrastructure, and ecosystems, as well as pose risks to
human safety.

 The persistent issue of flooding in the environment has become a


significant challenge with far-reaching consequences. Rapid
urbanization, climate change, and inadequate infrastructure
contribute to the severity and frequency of flooding events.
Addressing this problem requires a comprehensive solution that
integrates urban planning, infrastructure development, and
sustainable land management
 The people interest:
It is said by the people in the environment that due to the lack of
drainage in the environment. The expansion of cities and towns
often involves covering natural ground with impervious surfaces
like concrete and asphalt. This prevents rainwater from being
absorbed and can lead to rapid runoff, overwhelming drainage
systems and causing floods.
Improper construction in flood-prone areas, such as building on
floodplains or near riverbanks without adequate measures, can
worsen flood risks.The Poorly designed or maintained drainage
systems, sewers, and levees can fail during heavy rainfall or high
water levels, contributing to flooding.
The people need the flooding issues to be solved
 The possible solution for flooding in my environment it to:
Reforestation and afforestation
Improved drainage
Management of dams and reservoirs
 By evaluating the best options :
Reforestation by Planting trees and restoring vegetation helps
increase soil stability, reduce surface runoff, and enhance water
absorption, which can mitigate flooding.
The improvement in the drainages: Designing and maintaining
efficient drainage systems, including stormwater management
systems and sewers, can help manage excess water during heavy
rainfall.
The management of dams and reservoirs: Proper management of
dams and reservoirs, including controlled releases during heavy
rainfall, can help regulate water flow and prevent downstream
flooding.
 The selection of an option:
The option can occur in different ways, it can be by reforestation,
good drainage, management of dams and reservoirs, erosion
control, good infrastructure, floodplains management. Etc
This can be any of our options which we can use to solve the issue
of flooding in my environment.
 The documentary of the agreement is;
Parties Involved:
[Your Name/Organization] : NEMA, IRc
