Overview

Urbanization and increased impervious cover has a great impact on the hydrology of a watershed. Increased runoff volume and flow rate result in increased erosion and streambank deterioration. Water quality also deteriorates as most pollutants are carried by the runoff untreated into surface water bodies. In this presentation we will present some of the nature-based solutions that can be integrated into developing urbanized areas to mitigate the impact of increased impervious zones on the streams and creeks. This presentation will provide design and performance data as well as modeling results of the impact of implementation of nature-based solutions at large scale.
