This project will develop improved levee setback engineering guidance, standards, and priorities for levee setback projects. The guidance will link specific project features to engineering, ecological, economic, and s...
This project will develop fluvial inland watershed guidance for studying, analyzing, developing, and implementing watershed-based sediment management practices for successful implementation of water resource projects ...
This project will create a permanent large wood nourishment management program at Libby Dam, and provide a template for initiating similar programs in other locations or by other USACE Districts and agencies. The proj...
This project will create regionalized guidance and tools for landowners to incorporate EWN® methods in riverbank stabilization project in the Missouri Ozarks. The project will also establish a streamlined permit proce...
This project will create a wood revetment design tool that will be integrated into HEC-RAS to better assess Natural and Nature Based Features (NNBF) in river engineering and stream restoration designs. The tool will p...
This project will assess the efficacy of using vegetated floating canopies for shoreline protection. Vegetated floating canopies are a novel Nature Based Solution (NBS) that can dissipate and redirect wave energy befo...
This project will develop and evaluate key design and decision criteria to develop an actionable, innovative, and shovel ready EWN® “sand motor” (feeder beach) project, that passively distributes sediment across a wid...
This project leverages partner collaboration and incorporates the use of EWN® principles to increase resiliency and enhance biodiversity and ecological function of the Belle Isle Marsh in Boston MA. The project will p...
This project will expand the NNBF modeling capabilities of the EWN® Toolkit for integration into various models commonly used by USACE engineers and the modeling community. The Toolkit will be tested to examine the fu...
This project will advance the state of the practice for manmade oyster reefs through the improvement of computational modeling tools that can simulate the complex physical and ecological dynamics of these features. Th...
