Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this report is to examine the land-use changes with particular emphasis on agriculture that have occurred in the flood plain of the Connecticut River and two of its tributaries over a twenty-year period. This examination was confined to the Massachusetts portion of the Connecticut River Basin, thereby permitting the use of information developed for the Massachusetts Water Resources Study. In addition to examining past land-use changes within the flood plains of the Connecticut, Mill, and Westfield Rivers, the probable effects of alternative flood plain management techniques on agricultural land were also considered.
