He plows under the natural soil , cut timber and dredges and strengthens streams .These changes reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff . Water can be held on the land by planting vegetation . Forests and grass should be planted where there are no natural growths . Dams built across rivers help hold back the water . Reservoirs ( hå chøa nh©n t¹o ) behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons . Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water . 46.
