Free Flow
Location: Orange County, CA
Free Flow is a watershed management project focused on restoring the natural hydrology of San Juan Creek in Orange County, California, by addressing pollution, flooding, and increased base flows. The project integrates riparian corridor restoration, permeable riverbanks, and diamond-patterned creek beds to enhance water quality, reduce erosion, and improve habitat resilience. By implementing these nature-based solutions, free flow aims to mitigate urban runoff impacts while fostering a sustainable and adaptive watershed system.
