Title: Watershed Management at the Basin Scale at Duke University

A team of students from Duke University will restore a section of a stream and improve local storm water management on the Duke campus. The pilot project will lay a foundation for the basin-wide learning laboratory, where students from various disciplines can work with practicing professionals to develop stream restoration, wetland mitigation and storm water management measures that are more effective than current management practices. Instead of examining individual stream reaches, or a section of the campus, the approach used will treat the entire watershed as an integrated system, with solutions being conceptualized on the basin scale to address the identified problems.
