Flood Control and Stormwater Treatment as Sustainable Groundwater Recharge: 21st Street Improvements in Paso Robles, California
Publication: ICSI 2014: Creating Infrastructure for a Sustainable World
Abstract
Improvements to 21st Street in Paso Robles, California, combine drainage improvements with stormwater treatment and groundwater recharge on land that was once a part of the nearby Salinas River. The Complete/Green Street, the first of its kind in Paso Robles, uses bioretention, pervious pavers, open-channel draining, and infiltration channels to clean and capture runoff while minimizing flooding during storm events and preserving the pavement. The newly designed streetscape also improves the overall experience of using the street by adding trees, traffic-calming features, and bicycle lanes. In a region that is currently experiencing a historic water shortage, the 21st Street design provides a model for flood control, urban runoff treatment, and groundwater recharge.
