<br />Learn-Assess <br /> <br />opportunities for preservation and res-toration; and <br />coordination among federal, state, local, and <br />private agencies to implement unified efforts. <br />Some of the most important administrative <br />meas-ures address the inventory, classification, and <br />mapping of wetlands, wildlife, aquifers, and other <br />natural resources. It is necessary to know what <br />natural resources exist in the floodplain and what <br />their individual and collective value is before <br />making land use decisions that will sustain those <br />values and functions. <br /> <br />Planning historically has been used by <br />governments for many kinds of activities besides <br />natural resources management. Comprehensive <br />planning provides an opportunity for taking a <br />holistic view of floodplain resources while also <br />meeting other local needs, such as water supply, <br />agricultural ero-sion control, recreation, and <br />economic development. This sort of plannine is <br />getting increasing attention at the state and local <br />level, and typically incor-porates several of the <br />tools discussed above. <br /> <br />Home Leamine Center Back <br /> <br />This page last updated on December 27, 1996 <br /> <br />Page 36 of36 <br />
