Install swales and ditches to help improve stormwater drainage. This can also include implementing contouring or rain gardens to reduce surface runoff which can help
Identify locations where detours are needed, design detours and alert communication systems.
Plant native vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and grasses along slopes to prevent erosion.
Apply bioengineering techniques to stabilize slopes. Bioengineering involves the use of live plants and natural elements. Examples of techniques include brush layering, soil bioengineering, and
Upsize culverts and other stormwater management infrastructure (e.g., pipes, drains, etc.) where necessary.
