The diagrams show the problem of flooding in a UK town and two possible solutions. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

There are three maps that illustrate a flooding incident in a UK

town

and compare

two

potential measures.

According to

the

first

map, there were

two

rivers joined in the middle of the

town

, one named

River

Awl through the

town

from west to east, another called

River

Bole from north of the

town

to the junction. About half of the land in

this

town

was affected by flooding including the Industrial Park and Residential Area respectively on the west and east of

River

Bole.

Additionally

, The Commercial district on the south of the

River

Awl was

also

destroyed. The

first

solution to refurbish

this

town

is to relocate these three buildings. To be specific, the Industrial Park and Residential Area will be moved to the north of their original location. Simultaneously, a new Commercial district will be constructed in the south of its original location. The benefit of

this

project

is that the

river

environment can be maintained, but it may cost enormous funding. Compared with the

first

project

, the second solution can save a lot of money. In

this

project

, a dam will be erected on the source of

two

rivers, transforming rivers into reservoirs.

Besides

, the original riverbeds will be reconstructed into channels.

Although

this

project

needn't remove three buildings, a large number of lands will be transformed into reservoirs.

Overall

, these

two

solutions respectively have their own merits. The

first

measure can minimize the damage to the environment and another solution can save enormous money.
