Restoring floodplains can help regulate flood events and mitigate flood related damage. [6] Floodplain restoration can also increase biodiversity by creating new or restoring degraded habitat and encourage growth of native species. [7] [8] Methods of wetland restoration in the floodplain, can help better water quality. [9]
