N-EWN Seminar: Natural and Nature Based Features (NNBF) for Inland Fluvial Restoration

Purpose

Engineering With Nature (EWN®) and Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) is a principal component to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) inland fluvial watershed, Flood Risk Management (FRM), Regional Sediment Management (RSM), and Ecosystem Restoration portfolio of programs. In a memo dated April 2024, the USACE Headquarters required all future USACE water resource projects to investigate and incorporate NNBF approaches. This includes applying NNBF approaches to studies, alternative analysis, design, construction, operation and maintenance, and adaptive management. This presentation will provide information and newly developed guidance addressing watershed studies, FRM, RSM, and ecosystem restoration projects.
