There is a need to reduce sheet-flow flooding, restore historic drainage patterns, reduce erosion and sedimentation, improve floodplain function, reduce potential flood damages to infrastructure and agricultural lands, control invasive species, enhance native habitat restoration, and improve rangeland and soil health while maintaining access for property inspections, emergency response, and fire management.
