Diking to start with; that's our biggest challenge right now. What do we do with the river? We've manufactured a river that's channelized over the last century. As I said earlier in my statements, it's not our fault. We weren't here when it was happening.
The channelization has changed the way the river flows. We look at historical photographs and we see where the river used to sit. We have to look back to nature-based solutions. That's a big part of it. Flood plain mapping is a big one. We just spent $100,000 on flood plain mapping after spending half a million dollars on flood plain mapping. We just had another atmospheric river this past winter. The numbers that we have are probably not accurate anymore.
It really does come down to how we get the funds to be able to do things and still keep communities together. A big part of it is keeping communities together as we move forward.
