The method utilizes existing project analysis techniques to <br />equitably divide the responsibility for mitigating drainage problems <br />between the actors causing the impacts--the municipal government and <br />the developers. This shared responsibility results in the collection <br />of project revenues from both actors and can double the money available <br />for drainage facility construction. <br />The recommended drainage management program is packaged within <br />local subdivision regulations. The writers acknowledge that this approach <br />will fall short of addressing comprehensive basin-wide planning and <br />management because of its parochial nature. However, it is favored <br />over any regional approach because of the socio-political problem <br />with implementing regional programs. The local government should, <br />however, strive for some type of regional approach. After gaining <br />credibility through the local program they must impress upon the <br />community the importance of basin-wide planning with regard to drainage <br />and flood control. <br />
