Abstract:
In a draft report prepared for the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, a Duke University Fellow says that unless local regulations are strengthened, residential areas with serious flooding problems will continue to be developed in floodplains of dam-controlled rivers in Piedmont North Carolina. This article discusses the study, regulations for development in floodplain areas, and flood insurance.
