I think there’s a big potential here in FL, through planted bioswale landscaping, instead of empty ditches around empty lawns and gutters that quickly wash everything down. The idea of these systems is to capture and slow the runoff and passively water plants – it’s equally useful if you have a lot of rainfall or on flat terrain. Bioswales filter, and have capacity to mop up rainwater, which means less flooding. As an example, after hurricane Michael, so many big trees were killed that water table went up in the whole area for years, and it is probably still persisting, that’s a lot of biomass that was lost.
