The Flood Center is pleased to share our newest publication, which shows how stakeholder engagement and incorporation of communities' local knowledge can inform the design and long-term sustainability of flood risk streamflow monitoring networks.
The work was the foundation behind the design and implementation of a statewide stream monitoring network for Louisiana, developed as part of the Louisiana Watershed Initiative in collaboration with several federal (USGS, USACE, NWS), state agencies (OCD, DOTD, DEQ, LDWF), and with input from various local organizations.
