These maps can be used by real estate developers, road engineers, government agencies, utility companies and others interested in obtaining precise information on drainage patterns, earth removal, power grids and flood control mechanisms. Some have suggested the corps made mistakes managing the water as it tested the just-completed repairs to the dam; others wonder if changes some of their neighbors have made to drainage patterns are sending more water into yards downstream. Invasive plants, often propagated in these same backyards, domestic pets, and modifications to natural drainage patterns present additional challenges for park managers whose concerns focus on preservation and conservation of the public resource--natural open space. |
