Besides being disjointed, this research in the <br />financial area has not satisfactorily answered the equity and legality <br />questions of 'financing drainage and flood control facilities. The <br />municipal engineer is still faced with the problem of determining the <br />legal and equitable amount to charge the various beneficiaries of a <br />particular flood control facility. <br />Regulatory - To be effective, the drainage management program must <br />be packaged within an effective regulatory mechanism. The municipal <br />engineer in concert with the municipal attorney and the local decision <br />. <br />makers must determine how to implement the drainage management program. <br />The implementation must be within the limits of the local government's <br />grant of authority and, more importantly, it must be politically <br />workable. <br />The literature in this area provides little practical guidance for <br />selecting a Regulatory element. The majority of the literature addresses <br />new and innovative regulatory approaches to land management such as land <br />banking (1), timed development (11), and transfer of development rights <br />(34). These techniques are interesting concepts in growth management <br />but are not generally politically favorable at the present time. <br />Although the research in each of the three drainage program elements <br />is important, it presents only pieces of the solution to the municipal <br />engineer. In order to solve the problems of development-induced drainage <br />impacts, the municipal engineer needs a1t three drainage program elements <br />clarified and then combined into an imp1ementab1e drainage management <br />program. Without guidelines in these area, each municipal engineer <br />
