Multi-Agency Kickoff Meeting – Quantifying Ecological Benefits Of Levee Setbacks
Flood control projects such as levees are part of the Nation’s aging infrastructure. After repeated flood damage and repairs, repairing in-place becomes challenging, especially with the possibility of more frequent or extreme flood events. Alternate approaches, such as levee setbacks, are being considered more frequently. As part of a recently initiated EWN research task (RT), […]
