Floodplain Acquisition

Floodplain Acquisition is a land management strategy involving the systematic purchase or appropriation of properties within flood-prone areas to reduce flood risk, enhance natural floodwater retention, and restrict future development, distinguished from other flood mitigation measures by its focus on permanent land use conversion and long-term ecological and hydrological restoration.
