This monograph presents the proceedings of the 2002 Spring Symposium sponsored by the Lake Champlain Research Consortium, hosted by the Missisquoi Bay Watershed Corporation. The book examines this common body of water shared by Canada and the US, and summarizes knowledge of the dynamics of this system with a primary focus on land use, water management, and bridging the gap between researchers and the public.

Economic and social studies are essential in any process of water rsources planning or river bank management. This study deals with the establishment of an integrated system which would form the basis of the rational planning of flood plains and would include hydrological, hydrodynamic, physical and economic components. The application of such a system to a region of interest should lead to the establishment of a management policy for river banks. The results of this study will contribute to the development of cirteria for studying the value of management projects; the judicious choice of a flood control system after criteria, both technical and economic, have been determined; the determination of flood/damage correlation with not need for post-flood investigations; and the integration of urban and rural hydrology to obtian better watershed planning.
