【推荐2】The world has always had to face water-based natural disasters, such as tsunami and hurricanes. In an interview, Water Management Monthly talks to Dan Smith, who works in ‘disaster mitigation’ for a government ministry.
‘Dan, could you tell us what disaster mitigation means?’
‘Disaster mitigation means attempting to minimize the impact of natural disasters both before and after they happen. My department and work in two specific areas in order to try and do this: risk reduction and risk analysis. They are both equally crucial in disaster mitigation.’
‘What do you mean by risk reduction?’
‘Risk reduction means many things. It is not just referring to big engineering projects like dams. Often, small community projects can be the most effective means of risk reduction. The main way floods can be prevented is by the construction and maintenance of earth wall defences, or levees. These block the progress of rising water.
However, even the best levees can’t protect against the destructive power of a tsunami. In this case, early-warning systems are lifesavers. They can let people know as early as possible if there is likely to be flooding.’
‘What types of risk analysis do you do?’
‘Firstly, risk analysis concerns flood mapping, where we identify the parts of the country which are at most risk from flooding. Secondly, there is mitigation planning, which means helping local communities plan for when disaster strikes. Thirdly, we make sure that the country’s dams all work properly and are safe. Although many people criticize dams because of their environmental impact, there are many benefits to them too, such as hydroelectricity, irrigation, water storage, water sports and, of course, flood control. In terms of a cost-benefit analysis, we are definitely ahead.’
‘Do you think countries are better prepared now for natural disasters than they were in the past?’
‘Definitely. We are constantly developing new flood-prevention solutions. An example of one such measure can be found in the UK, with the Thames Barrier. This is an enormous engineering project designed to prevent London from flooding.’
‘Aren’t programmes like that very expensive? What lower-cost alternatives are there?’
‘Flood prevention does not have to be expensive. Sandbags, for example, can be a highly effective way of stopping flood water.’
1. The two aspects involved in minimizing the impact of natural disaster are _______.| A．the construction and maintenance of earth wall defenses |
| B．flood mapping and mitigation planning |
| C．risk reduction and risk analysis |
| D．small community projects and early warning systems |
| A．ensuring all dams are well functioning |
| B．developing new flood-prevention solutions |
| C．assisting communities in planning for when disaster strikes |
| D．identifying which parts of the country will be threatened by flooding |
| A．Individuals are better prepared for natural disasters now than before. |
| B．The city of London is at potential risk of flooding. |
| C．There are many low-cost flood prevention alternatives. |
| D．Despite the environmental impact of dams, they bring many benefits. |
