Water Strategies

— Construct measures (e.g., levees, floodwalls, berms, etc.), to mitigate coastal flooding and/or provide dry egress — Employ green and grey infrastructure to create a network of stormwater retention and conveyance features — Utilize streets and public spaces to better manage the flow of stormwater through the neighborhood — Coordinate stormwater management improvements with other improvements and investments in the study area
