As we know, Indonesia is a country dubbed the equatorial emerald by storing wealth for its natural beauty. Nature is so beautiful is a deposit for humans who should be treated and cared for.
Humans belong to the biotic component of the environment that is endowed with the ability to think with reason. With this ability, humans can play an important role on the environment, which is to maintain and maintain it.
Apart from that, what is happening to our nature today. In every corner of the scene a very disturbing situation exists. Indonesia, the motherland felt a deep sadness. Various kinds of natural events occur. Volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides and tsunamis for example. These disasters are part of the clear evidence of failure to safeguard our natural environment.
The disaster itself is the impact of human actions. Abuse of roles to the environment causes tremendous losses. Whether directly or indirectly, these losses arise from the effects of human activities in meeting the needs of his life.
Against the natural environment, humans view it with a variety of needs and interests. Various ways are being made to use these natural resources. Forests as abiotic natural resources, can be used or used by humans on an ongoing basis. As long as human beings use it wisely in observing the life cycle of the natural resources do not get destroyed.
The existence of changes in human life behavior, the habit that should support the saving of the environment, become a habit that is not environmentally friendly, such as destruction of the environment for profit only, making humans dare take very dangerous steps to meet the needs of his life. This change leads to disasters such as landslides and floods.
Flood is a natural event that occurs when excessive water flow soaked the land that is usually not submerged. This incident occurred in because of several factors, including the blockage of river flow, high rainfall, the absorption area, the existence of deforestation and so forth.
The high rainfall causes the river can not accommodate the volume of water that exceeds the limit. Coupled with the existence of blockage of the flow of the river by throwing waste into the river to be the cause of the flood disaster. Reduced water absorption area due to cover with asphalt and concretion in city area also become factor of flood. In addition, the existence of human behavior that did the deforestation can quickly invite the occurrence of floods.
Attitudes of arbitrary acts in the act of felling trees lead to the loss of trees to absorb water. As a result when the prolonged rainy season comes the result of a flood disaster. So, here we can say that this flood is one example of disaster which is a direct result of human actions. Because the natural disaster as a hint that the existence of disharmony (disharmonis) in the ecosystem.
This flood disaster certainly has a tremendous impact. And this impact is immediately felt by humans. Among the impacts of floods is causing casualties, damage to agricultural areas that harm farmers, facilities and infrastructure become damaged, loss of property and can become as a seed disease.
Of course the impact of this disaster does not want to be felt by humans. Therefore, to prevent it must be a flood prevention effort. One of the most preferred ways is to improve the way people view nature. Where to set nature as something that must be maintained and treated. Not just to be used for temporary enjoyment.
This is the effort to overcome / prevention of flood disaster that should be done. With the action or awareness to do this, then the community can prevent any disaster including floods.
