Structural controls like damns, levies and pipes certainly have a role to play in flood control. But buyouts of property that flood frequently, preservation of open space and recharge areas, and restoration of wetlands, prairies and riparian corridors can blunt the impacts of flooding and remove people and property from harm's way. They can also help bring nature back into urban areas and revitalize habitat.
Please send an email to the Texas Water Development Board TODAY and urge them to prioritize proven, nature-based strategies in our long-range flood control plan!
