They have no maintenance costs

Explanation:

Some flood mitigation measures have absolutely no maintenance costs. One significant one is the enactment of a policy that revokes any kind of settlement or human activities in flood zone areas. Flood zone areas are regions where water drains naturally hence providing proper natural drainage. Keeping these regions unobstructed will definitely mitigate flood damage to built environments because they'll be less likely to get flooded.
