Saipan, the capital and population center, is the largest island in the Northern Mariana Islands. The island is about 13 miles long, between 1-1/2 and 7 miles wide and has an area of 48 square miles. The purpose of this document is to present the reevaluation of engineering and economic analyses which will serve as the basis for the selection of a feasible plan for alleviating the flood problem in Garapan. The study focus-id on an evaluation of this flood problem, development of conceptual measures for protecting the flood-prone areas, and preventing flood damages, and the costs, benefits, and environmental impacts associated with implementing these measures. |
