Principles
v
Natural drainage areas,
like wetlands, help reduce runoff and flooding.
v
Impervious surfaces,
like concrete or asphalt, increase runoff and flooding.
v
Conservation of wetlands
and prevention of floodplain development will improve environmental quality and
reduce future flood hazards.
Conservation measures will reduce flood risk both around the
conservation sites and in downstream communities.
