Tijeras Arroyo Resiliency Strategies June 26, 2021
In this project, I examine construction techniques that work to slow stormwater run-off and redirect it for use by natural systems that, over time, impart greater biodiversity and resiliency to the Tijeras Watershed. Thesis A variety of low-impact constructed forms have the potential to slow down stormwater run-off so that it may be utilized by living systems. Constructions such as channels, check-dams, swales, dissipaters, terraces, oxbows, and other rock basins require minimal energy inputs to begin nutrient cycling and biomass…
