Flood control and water ...

Flood control and water conservation are a multi layered endeavor. The big mistake made here in USA is centralized damming. Large construction projects, disruption of the natural flow of rivers, Slowing down the flow from rapid rivers causing sediment to be deposited at the base of the Dam.  Decentralized rain water collection, home storage, cisterns, planting trees along any and all rivers and creeks. Using all waste to make and use compost. These 2 practices alone have the ability to control hundred year floods and have water at the residential level where it really belongs. Why spend $50 billion on a Dam project when $50 will do the same thing. A dam breaks lost lives and lost money. Home system breaks, nobody dies and you can fix it yourself. California has the worst flood control policies in the entire USA. Their drought is of their own legislative making.
