IRRIGATION CURTAIN AND EROSION CONTROL METHOD FOR REGENERATIVE STORMWATER CONVEYANCE
In a Regenerative Stormwater Conveyance (RSC) system, rather than increase base flow by putting a horizontal layer of clay and silts in the entire streambed, constructing vertical irrigation curtains with clay rich soil to interrupt the groundwater flow at certain intervals will increase surface water base flows and improve habitat and water quality while also improving the interactions between the hyporheic zones and the channel. Also, by initially providing a subsurface flow channel through which water can flow, for example, using a perforated pipe, and building an access road over that channel during construction, erosion in the RSC project area can be significantly reduced or eliminated.
