On #ImagineADayWithoutWater, it's vital to remember how we manage our lands and watersheds can affect #water sources.

Good land mgmt & urban practices can keep water clean and reduce eroded sediment that may fill up lakes. https://www.utct.org/greenbelt_plan.html

Good land mgmt, which includes preserving vital watershed features, such as floodplains, can help reduce #flood damages. #ImagineADayWithoutWater

The #Denton County Greenbelt Plan identifies high priority creeks in need of preservation and strategies that cities, developers and landowners can take to preserve & protect these creeks. https://www.utct.org/greenbelt_plan.html

Conservation easements are one tool to protect floodplains and creeks. CEs are voluntary agreements w/ landowners, cities and developers to limit select rights on a property, such as building homes. This protects the natural value of the property.
