1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 CONTEXT OF FLOOD
A flood is an overflow of water on land which is Usually dry. Sometimes a water resource (river, lake or pond)
gets flushed with too much water. Unusually heavy rain sometimes causes floods. When there is too much water,
it may overflow beyond its normal limits. This water then spreads over land, flooding it. Extreme flooding can
also because by a tsunami or a large storm that causes a storm surge. Floods that happen quickly are called flash
flood. During a flood, people try to move themselves and their most precious belongings to higher ground
quickly. The process of leaving homes in search of a safe place is called evacuation.
1.2 EFFECTS AND CAUSES OF FLOOD
Causes Occurrence and Reoccurrence of prolonged heavy rain shower has resulted to floods all over the world
Flood are caused by many factors: heavy rainfall, high accelerated snow melt, severe wind over water, unusual
high tide, tsunamis, or failure of dams, retention ponds, or other structures. Climate changes also an attribute
that cause flooding because when the climate is warmer it results in heavy rains, relative sea level continue to
rise around most shore, extreme sea levels will be experienced more frequently. Therefore, climate changes are
likely to increase flood risk significant and progressively over time. Effects The primary effects of flooding
include loss of life and damage to buildings and other structures, including bridge, roadways, and canals. Floods
also frequently damage power transmission and sometimes power generation which then has knock-on effects
caused by the loss of power. This includes loss of drinking water treatment and water supply; it may also cause
the loss of sewage disposal facilities. Lack of clean water combined with human sewage in the flood waters raises
the risk of waterborne diseases, which can include typhoid, many other diseases depending upon the location of
the flood. Damage to roads and transport infrastructure may make it difficult to mobilize aid to those affected
or to provide emergency health treatment. Flood waters typically inundate farm land, making the land
unworkable and preventing crops from being planted or harvested, which can lead to shortages of food both for
humans and farm animals.

Amphibious structures, also known as floating or flood-resistant structures, have
emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the devastating impacts of flooding in
low-lying and flood-prone regions. This abstract presents an overview of the design
considerations and strategies employed in the development of amphibious
structures, focusing on enhancing resilience and minimizing damage during flood
events. The design of amphibious structures encompasses several key aspects. First,
the foundation is designed to provide stability and buoyancy. Various techniques
such as elevated platforms, stilts, or buoyant materials are utilized to elevate the
living space above the flood level while allowing the structure to rise and fall with
changing water levels. This design approach minimizes structural damage, reduces
flood risk, and protects occupants and belongings.
