Resumen:
Flood management is a broad concept that uses a combination of policy, regulatory, financial and physical measures which focus on coping with the hazard posed by floods, while recognizing that they can never be fully controlled.

The mean soil uses are crops (maize, wheat and soybean) and livestock for meat or milk production.
