ANSWER:

Impermeable surfaces cannot reduce the 'effects of flooding'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Impermeable surfaces are the ones that 'does not allow water' to pass through them and forces it to run-off.
  • These surfaces does not reduce the "effects of flooding" as they does not allow water to pass through.
  • Impermeable surfaces are basically solid surfaces that does not allow 'water' to pass through.
  • Permeable surfaces on the other hand are porous and allow 'water' to pass through them and seep into the soil thereby reducing the effects of flooding.
