Clues

  • a higher supply for water than demand (5, 7)
  • man-made structures built to control the flow of rivers and reduce flooding (4, 11)
  • restrictions that prevent building on parts of land likely to be flooded (5, 5, 6)
  • schemes set up using knowledge of a river and its processes to reduce the effects of flooding (4, 11)
  • soil that can't absorb any more water (9, 4)
  • the amount of water that flows in a river per second, measured in cumecs (5, 9)
  • the force of water breaks particles away from the river channel (9, 6)
  • the process that has the most impact (8, 7)
  • the river's course is straightened - the meanders are cut out by building artificial, straight channels (7, 13)
  • water flowing quickly over land and into water (7, 6)
