Background of the study
Flood control measures are crucial for safeguarding communities and promoting sustainable development, especially in flood-prone areas like Yenagoa Local Government Area, Bayelsa State. Government interventions, such as drainage system improvements, riverbank stabilization, and community awareness programs, have been implemented to mitigate flood impacts (Oghenekaro, 2023). These measures are designed to protect lives, reduce property damage, and ensure continuity of economic activities during the rainy season. However, the recurring nature of floods suggests that current interventions may be inadequate. The study critically assesses the effectiveness of these flood control measures, examining both the technical and social dimensions of intervention strategies. It explores how well these measures have reduced flood risks and improved community resilience. The research will provide insights into the challenges faced by local authorities and offer recommendations for optimizing flood control strategies (Obi, 2024; Ejiro, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Despite government interventions, flooding remains a recurrent problem in Yenagoa, leading to property damage, displacement, and economic losses. Inefficient implementation and infrastructural deficits hinder the effectiveness of flood control measures. This study aims to identify these challenges and evaluate the overall impact of government efforts (Oghenekaro, 2023).
