We Completed the Watershed Study!
We are hosting our final public meeting for the Rocky Branch Watershed Study. In this meeting, we will share our results and recommended stormwater improvement projects that will reduce flooding, improve water quality, and protect the community.
Background
A watershed is an area of land where rainwater collects and flows or drains to a larger body of water. That can be a lake, stream, river, or ocean. We completed a study of the Rocky Branch Watershed and the adjacent portion of the Walnut Creek Watershed located in southern downtown Raleigh. The goal is to identify ways to improve the watershed by:
- Reducing flooding impacts
- Renewing stormwater pipes and infrastructure that is in poor condition
- Improving water quality
- Repairing streambanks
