Answer:

Flood barriers

Explanation:

Many towns in flood-prone areas are surrounded by flood barriers that are built to hold back rising water during seasonal highs.

  • Flood barriers are water resistant walls that are used to prevent breaking water during a high period of inundation from their channels.
  • They are usually vertical artificial structures which can be temporary or permanent.
  • They help to hold or contain the flood water during the high season.
  • These walls prevents flood plains and other nearby areas from getting flooded during the rainy season.
