Work with private landowners, use cost-effective techniques like flow regime modification and stormwater detention to reduce runoff, and mitigate hydromodification effects. Progress includes site selection, agreements, and design development. Next steps involve additional site selection, design, and permit requirements. Related projects include TMDL programs, conservation planning tools, public outreach on water management, and participation in stakeholder groups.
