Each year, the loss of lives and property caused by floods totals hundreds of billions of dollars in the world. To solve the problem, man has to pay attention to the protection of vegetation (植被 ). Since plants can hold in place the top soil with their roots and slow the flow of water, less soil will be carried away if vegetation is well protected. Besides, man must lay stress on harnessing rivers by deepening river beds, strengthening river banks and changing rivercourses.
