What are structural flood control measures designed to do?

Forecast floods
Control floodwaters
Study flood patterns
Restore natural floodplains

The correct answer is: Control floodwaters

Structural flood control measures are specifically designed to control the flow of floodwaters. Option A, forecasting floods, involves predicting the occurrence and severity of floods, but does not involve direct control of floodwaters. Option C, studying flood patterns, may inform structural measures, but does not directly control the flow of floodwaters. Option D, restoring natural floodplains, is an environmental measure that does not necessarily involve controlling floodwaters.
