FLOOD-01

Evaluate and Improve Capacity of Stormwater Infrastructure for High-Intensity Rainfall Events

Implementation

  • Invest in green infrastructure, such as rain gardens, bioswales, stormwater tree trenches, green roofs, detention basins, and rain barrels, to reduce peak runoff, filter stormwater, and increase groundwater recharge.
  • Increase maintenance and cleaning of gutters, drainage ditches, and culverts to maximize drainage capacity.

Benefits: Investing in green infrastructure and maintaining the existing infrastructure under the jurisdiction of the County would reduce instances of localized flooding in the County.​

Timeframe: Near term​
