<br />. <br /> <br />SUSTAINABLE WATERSHEDS - THE LITTLE DRY CREEK EXPERIENCE <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br /> <br />Mary Kay Provaznik, HDR Engineering <br />David Lloyd, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District <br /> <br />1998 CASFM Conference, September 30 - October 2, 1998 <br /> <br />Over the past 25 years, the Little Dry Creek drainage basin and it's major <br />tributaries in Arapahoe County have experienced rapid growth. Millions of <br />dollars, both from the private sector and local govemments, have been expended <br />in addressing everything from minor streambank stabilization to major <br />channelization and detention projects to offset the effects of this rapid <br />urbanization. A look back on what has been accomplished in the area of <br />"improvements" and how design criteria and public expectations have changed <br />over the years often times lends a fresh perspective on the value of past <br />improvements and provides valuable insight into the sustainability of urban <br />watersheds. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br />
