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:
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).

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?
