Floodplain Restoration

Floodplain restoration involves restoring natural areas adjacent to rivers and streams that can absorb excess water during high flows. This process helps reduce flooding, improve water quality, and support local ecosystems. By removing barriers and re-establishing natural features like wetlands, banks, and flood channels, the landscape can better manage floods while benefiting plant and animal habitats. It also promotes groundwater recharge and enhances the resilience of communities to climate-related changes. Overall, floodplain restoration works with nature to protect both the environment and surrounding communities from flood damage.
