Which of the following does NOT help to explain the different impacts of flooding between MEDCs and LEDCs? MEDCs have better flood warning systems. MEDCs have better access to emergency services. LEDCs have more rainfall. LEDCs don't spend as much on flood management. 26. Which of the following is NOT a hard engineering method of flood protection? Afforestation Dams and reservoirs Channel straightening 27. Flooding can be beneficial because: it can make the ground more fertile. it can teach people to swim. it can destroy homes. 28. Bangladesh is vulnerable to flooding. Which of the following is NOT a reason why?

Over half of the land is less than 6 m above sea level. It is an area which suffers from tropical storms. The houses are built on stilts.

29. The amount of water used every day is: equally spread around the world. higher in LEDCs than MEDCs per person. higher in MEDCs than LEDCs per person. 30. LEDCs tend to use a large percentage of their water for: Domestic (household) use Industrial use Agricultural (farming) use 31. One way in which water is used for agriculture is called: irrigation. infiltration. infertility. 32. The amount of water LEDCs use for industrial purposes is set to rise. This is because: more industries are locating in LEDCs. industry is becoming less efficient in LEDCs. water supply will become more available in LEDCs. 33.
