Flood Storage Areas

Flood Storage Areas are designated regions that temporarily hold excess water during heavy rains or flooding events. These areas are designed to absorb and slowly release water, reducing the intensity and speed of floods in surrounding communities. By capturing runoff, flood storage areas help protect people, property, and ecosystems from flood damage. They can be natural landscapes like wetlands or engineered systems, and they play a crucial role in flood management and environmental conservation, maintaining the balance of local waterways.
