The given charts depict two different ways of protection for homes which are at risk of being flooded, and both of the houses are raised above ground level. The main difference between the two protection plans is whether there is a stopbank or not In the first diagram, the function of a stopbank as a barrier against flooding from nearby rivers is illustrated. This barrier, depicted as a mound near a drain/river, exceeds the predicted height of a 100-year flood. Additionally, the houses can be built on stilts to prevent flooding from rainwater, and there is a floodgate beneath the stopbank opened to allow the internal winding to drain off into the river. In contrast, the second illustration portrays the dire consequences of a house lacking such protection, directly exposed to overflowing water. In this case, buildings are also raised on stilts. The height of the stilts is 300mm above the 100-year flood level which is called freeboard. This measurement can secure the house against the flood.

The maps illustrate the major developments in the town of Springer from 1970 to the present. Overall, the city’s landscape has undergone significant transformations over this fifty-year period, marked by numerous changes and the introduction of new amenities. In 1970, Springer was primarily a rural area, characterized by a vast forest, large farmland, and only a few buildings, including two houses and one shop. However, the town has experienced dramatic changes over the years. Notably, much of the forest was cleared to make way for various new facilities. A school was built at the town’s center, surrounded by numerous shops. In the top right-hand corner, an airport was constructed, located near a small remaining portion of the forest, as well as some flats above the shops. The large farmland from 1970 was reduced significantly to accommodate additional apartments and new housing. Moreover, there has been a marked increase in the number of roads connecting the buildings compared to the 1970 layout (disposition). Despite these developments, some green spaces from the original forest remain, particularly a stretch of greenery along the western edge of the town. In conclusion, Springer has been transformed dramatically from a rural settlement in 1970 to a more urbanized area today.
