Diverting is defined as which action?

Containing a liquid so it can be absorbed

Directing and controlling movement to a less harmful area

Diverting means directing and controlling the movement of a hazardous material away from people, property, or sensitive environments and guiding it toward a safer area or containment. The goal is to reduce exposure and limit spread by changing the flow path, not just stopping it at a boundary or absorbing it. Barriers and routing efforts are used to steer the material toward a safer area, rather than focusing on absorption or simply preventing movement.

Using raised embankments to prevent movement
