Waterbodies are defined as any area that holds surface or groundwater including, but not limited to, streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, gulfs, or aquifers. These waterbodies are home to a variety of flora and fauna. Coastline development not only affects the quality of nearby waterbodies, but also the overall ecological health of the habitats dependent on them. Furthermore, in a region with limited precipitation and shrinking groundwater levels, it is especially important to conserve the remaining amount of naturally available fresh water.
