Does river engineering have the potential to make floods worse? This essay will involve explaining whether or not different types of hard and soft engineering make floods worse. I will go through each type of engineering and explain their advantages and disadvantages to see if they are each capable of making a flood worse or not. Levees Levees are an example of hard engineering and are basically just big piles of either concrete‚ rocks or soil that have been piled up to increase the height of
