Los Angeles has a water problem. In any given year, up to 90% of Los Angeles’s water supply is imported from outside the city. Current stormwater capture systems across the city are minimal to nonexistent. As Los Angeles faces water scarcity, flooding, and climate uncertainty, the 2,000-acre Sepulveda Basin along the LA River holds untapped potential to model nature-based infrastructure in the San Fernando Valley. This project introduces natural systems that capture and manage stormwater, shaping community, recreation, and wildlife into cohesive urban spaces that welcome and connect visitors from across Los Angeles.
