In five SlideShares, Restoring the Pulse of Nature in Euclid presents two goals for stormwater Integrated Planning in Euclid, Ohio: a) Revive the natural regulation of stormwater at relatively low cost and high community benefit. b) Reconnect fragmented natural habitat areas as a means to build local biodiversity and natural capital.
SS#4, Euclid Eco-Greenways, demonstrates how urban shrinkage can help restore the natural pulse of Euclid watersheds. Eco-Greenways use vacated land to link bioretention facilities. Greenways are based upon re-emergent ghost watershed features. Linked ghosts indicate complementary locations for new green stormwater infrastructure. In linking bioretention, eco-greenway helps reconnect fragmented habitats and diversify watershed ecology.
