That new approach could
include strategies such as removing or setting back levees in some locations
to promote seasonal flooding, strengthening
regulations to reduce the discharge of contaminants into waterways, reworking the operations of some dams
to facilitate fish passage, and
changing federal and state laws

to a broad, ecosystem - based approach.
To avoid costly problems in the future, ICA and other groups recommend a variety of policy improvements,
including changing land use
regulations in fire - and flood - prone areas, strengthening building codes, and improving weather warning and modelling services.
