A Stormwater Action Plan for the Health of Sierra Vista and the San Pedro River

A Stormwater Action Plan for the Health of Sierra Vista and the San Pedro River cover

Watershed Management Group is working with the City of Sierra Vista to “fill the void” in the local water budget and enhance flow in the nearby San Pedro River. Taking what we’ve learned from our experiences working at homes, neighborhoods, and businesses, we applied Low Impact Development (LID) strategies across the Woodcutter Wash sub-watershed in Sierra Vista. Modeling the flow of stormwater produced at each site, and as it flows down to the San Pedro River, revealed that LID features (e.g. rain gardens) produce positive, tangible benefits when adopted on a broad scale.
