<br />2. Typical runoff control ordinances, and model ordinances. <br /> <br />3. Adoption of land use plans and zoning ordinances, including floodplain <br />zoning--provisions needed to preserve floodplain storage capacity and satisfy all <br />state and federal laws. <br /> <br />Organization, Function, Planning and Coordination <br /> <br />1. Methods for coordinating land use and runoff control. <br /> <br />2. Ways to minimize fragmented authority and responsibility in runoff control. <br /> <br />3. Organizational and functional frameworks of regional drainage and flood <br />control agencies--as an aid in establishing an agency. <br /> <br />4. Advantages and disadvantages of metropolitan runoff management versus <br />management by individual local governments. <br /> <br />Planning, Engineering and Data Collection <br /> <br />1. Improved drainage system design methods and techniques. <br /> <br />2. Simplified and economical application of electronic computers in the <br />design, operation, and maintenance of drainage systems. <br /> <br />3. Techniques for coordinating drainage planning and engineering with con- <br />struction, operation, and maintenance limitations and needs--to achieve satis- <br />factory performance at minimum cost. <br /> <br />4. Economics of innovative methods for attenuating runoff rates by providing <br />temporary storage space for runoff--e.g., in or on street pavements, roofs, <br />quarries, abandoned mines, swimming pools, underground garages, beneath parking <br />lot surfaces, etc. <br /> <br />5. Establishing dense gaging and water quality measuring networks in metro- <br />politan areas for developing hydrographs and other design and operation parameters; <br />and for instantaneous collection of data in digital form at storage and retrieval <br />centers. <br /> <br />Economic, Environmental, Sociological and Political Aspects <br /> <br />1. Summaries and classifications of annual flood damages in selected metro- <br />politan areas--for use in making economic studies. <br /> <br />2. Evaluation of criteria governing distribution of federal and state grants <br />and loans for drainage and flood control improvements. <br /> <br />3. Potential value of advanced stormwater drainage systems in controlling <br />erosion, sedimentation, water pollution, and stabilization of land forms. <br /> <br />4. Economics of floodproofing, protecting, and insuring buildings in flood- <br />plains versus removal or reconstruction outside flood prone areas. <br /> <br />5. Conservation of natural resources as a guiding policy in control of sur- <br />face runoff (e.g., water harvesting, groundwater recharge, preservation of biota, <br />etc.) <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />, <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />
