BUILDING in floodplains has been costly. Billions of an average of $3.4 billion are lost each year to floods. This costly error affects all of - do-la- rs - us with higher insurance, building costs, and relief programs to flood victims. The adverse publicity can also give the community a bad image. Worse still, is the loss of human lives. Since 1925, floods in the United States have killed over 4,000 people.

Flooding can also be repetitive. Damagk ing storms often occur during the same season. back-to-bac- ANOTHER contributing factor is changing conditions on the land. Upstream construction of houses, supermarkets, streets, and parking lots can drastically alter natural drainage patterns. The sealed surfaces absorb no rainfall, so runoff is greater and takes place faster. If the drainage subsystem of a down-streadivision is not adequate, a torrent of runoff water can create a flood, sometimes after only moderately heavy rains.
