Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program
The Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program (PL 83-566) provides both technical and financial (project implementation) assistance to help urban and rural communities protect, improve, and develop water and land resources in watersheds of up to 250,000 acres (approximately 390 square miles).

Projects can include the following measures:
- flood prevention (flood damage reduction);
- development of rural, municipal, and industrial water supply sources;
- erosion/sediment control;
- fish and wildlife habitat enhancement;
- watershed protection;
- water quality improvements;
