Land-Use Management
Reducing Flood Risk and Stormwater Impacts Through Sound Landscape Designs
Project examples include stream restoration, which involves the removal of debris/pollutants from the stream, the planting of native vegetation along the stream banks, the conversion of conventional lawns to meadows, and the removal of invasive species for the planting of native vegetation.
Habitat Restoration
The solution entails landscape designs that promote the long-term sustainability of natural resources and ecosystems. This could involve the creation of landscapes that balance environmental and human demands and implementing methods such as low-impact development (LID) and green infrastructure. Project examples include the design of green roofs, rain gardens, greenways, or other natural corridors and the installation of permeable pavements.
