Abstract
The major objectives of these studies and technical advice are: (a) To compile in a clear and useful form and to dissimilate to State and local governmental agencies specific information on floods and potential flood hazards including identification of areas subject to inundated by floods of various magnitudes and frequencies; (b) to encourage optimum and prudent use of the nation's river valleys by providing to State and local governmental agencies a factual basis for: reducing future flood damages and hazards; developing land use plans; preserving adequate floodway and channel rights-of-way and channel clearances; reducing information for the guidance of private citizens; reducing future expenditures for Federal projects developments which in the absence of the information program, would have taken place.
