Why does CCFCC warn Cypress Creek Watershed residents that the floodplains as shown on the new FEMA map will likely increase in size and depth?
The watershed is undergoing rapid urban development, especially in the western regions adjacent to and upstream of U. S. Highway 290. These big neighborhood developments will increase both the volume and peak runoff, which is likely to spill into downstream neighborhoods unless a more effective flood mitigation infrastructure is installed.
