🌿 In Unit 1, students explore erosion in the arroyo closest to their school and gain an understanding of the impact of stormwater on the arroyo system. Students come up with mitigation strategies and build a model to test their effectiveness. What are some typical erosion mitigation strategies in our arroyos? We need to slow water down and allow it to infiltrate into the ground in order to prevent erosion. Some techniques are building One Rock Dams with a single layer of rocks, Media Lunas that are sheet flow collectors and sheet flow spreaders, and Zuni Bowls that slow water down in a plunge pool. One of the best ways to mitigate stormwater erosion is to capture the stormwater before it becomes a problem in rain gardens, allowing the water to recharge our groundwater in the process.
