General Information About Flood Damage Reduction Studies


Nearly all flood damage reduction projects begin with identifying and defining a flooding problem. That process is followed by performing a study to find potential projects. When flooding problems are complex, or the affected geographical area is large, a study can be costly. In those cases, the District typically seeks funding partners, such as the federal government, to help carry out the study and implement a project.

Federal partnership studies must meet District standards for effectiveness and efficiency, respect community and natural values, and also meet standards and guidelines of the federal government. The federal agency that typically partners with the District on large studies is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
