The strea.ms first.pr""ided transportation and water s\1pply <br />ar.d at a la~er ti~e their usually gentle valley grades encou~aged <br />the construction of highways and rail~oads.

Vast surr,$ of money and material re- <br />sources ha~e been expended for structural flood control projects <br />da~s and reservoirs, levees, channel improvements, and similar pro- <br />tective wor~ - d..dgned to Secure man's babitdt ag"inst th~ (arc.. o( <br />nature's floods. Unfortunately, however, encro~c~~ent or. the flood <br /> <br /> <br />pl"ins has taken place faster than control structures have been built <br />and co.tly flood da~ges have continued to increase across the nation. <br />This increase has led to a ne~ ap?roach for reducing flood damages. <br />Called "floodplainrnanagc",cnt,"thisne"..approachconsistsofa pply- <br />ing controls over the use of floaC prone land p"ior to constru~tion on <br />or ~se of the land. <br /> <br />Guidance on various flood plain management tec~niques <br />that can be adoptej in a realistic flnod da~ge reduction proqram is <br />presented in the followinq text.
