Watershed Management in Hamilton County

Key Programs:

Watershed Planning                 ​​The Demonstration Watershed                 Regional Leadership​

​The Cooper Creek Demonstration Watershed:

To mitigating the serious water problems that we are facing as a result of urban hydrologic alteration and climate change,   
we need to restore or mimic the natural movement of water through the landscape.  This can be achieved by incorporating nature-based (and nature informed) solutions, but important questions remain:
  • How much hydrologic mitigation is enough to solves various problems in various places?
  • What mitigation techniques are the most effective to solves various problems in various places?
  • How can existing techniques be improved or thoughtfully places to improve performance or create more co-benefits?
 
​This is where the Demonstration Watershed comes in - we are implementing, and assessing the performance of, cutting-edge hydrologic mitigation projects.  Project performance is being assessed for both individual projects, and on a cumulative basis.  This work will inform water resource management throughout the regions (while solving problems in the Cooper Creek watershed).
