Question

Why is it not possible to provide absolute protection in all flood-prone areas?

Answer 1

The passage states that, "according to the CWC's report on financial aspects of flood control, anti-sea erosion and drainage projects, it is not possible to provide absolute protection instantly to all flood-prone areas." The CWC report says that such an attempt will neither be practical nor economically viable. This is why it is not possible to provide absolute protection in all flood-prone areas.
