This course provided valuable knowledge about flood management, climate change, and ecological restoration. I learned how natural processes and human activities influence flood risks, as well as how dams, reservoirs, levees, and floodwalls can help protect communities. I also realized that ecological restoration plays an important role in improving air quality, reducing noise, supporting pollination, and capturing carbon. I believe that combining effective infrastructure with nature-based solutions is essential for building resilient and sustainable cities and protecting the environment for future generations.
