Approach
Increase resistance of road surfaces to higher peak flows at stream crossings
Tactics
- Install hardened stream crossings
- Perform a basin-wide assessment of current hydrological interactions with roads
- Use grade control structures
- humps
- and water bars to reduce velocity and redirect flow
