Floodplains serve as natural sponges for excess water during heavy rain events, helping to reduce the risk of flooding and protect communities and infrastructure. Floodplains support a diverse range of plant and animal species and provide critical habitat for many species and play an important role in filtering and purifying water, improving water quality for both human and ecological use. By preserving and protect our floodplains, we ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our neighborhoods and the environment around us.
