Case Studies that focus on stormwater management, flood mitigation, management of extreme flood events. Water retention practices like bio-retention and infiltration practices that support water capture and infiltration, and slow down release of runoff. reduce coastal (shoreline) erosion through creation of natural breakwaters that can absorb the energy of waves. Prevent saltwater intrusion by storing storm water and reducing inundation.
