This project explores the feasibility of implementing passive water storage on agricultural land to mitigate flood risk in the context of climate change. It analyzes two examples of passive water storage tools, offering recommendations for further research to ensure their viability in the Fraser Valley. The report examines the governance frameworks and funding mechanisms that may support or hinder the integration of these strategies into British Columbia's floodplain management practices.
