Soil and Water Conservation Division explores "water storage" as potential flood reduction practice

The North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation is exploring an innovative flood prevention strategy: intentionally storing stormwater on farmland. Unlike traditional water management methods, this approach—dubbed "water parking" or "water farming"—seeks to temporarily divert floodwaters onto designated plots of land to ease downstream flooding. The initiative involves identifying suitable, non-flood-prone sites where water can be held and released later. While still in the early stages, the effort hinges on finding the right land, willing landowners, and funding to make the concept viable on a large scale. In this video, see representatives from the NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation on a site visit in eastern North Carolina as they explore potential sites for water storage.
