Abstract: How can communities in urban areas convert their concrete flood control channels into natural stream systems? What are the benefits to the owner of a channel, often the flood control district, to convert their channels to natural streams? What role should the flood control district play, or the community play, or non-profit groups play or regulators play in achieving this vision? This talk will explore these questions and the concept of using long range planning such as a "50 year plan" to accomplish this.
