Cross Vane In Action

This video taken on May 18th, 2011 shows how the cross vanes function in the stream during a high flow event. The high velocity flow shows how the cross vanes direct the flow of the water into the center of the channel and keep the pressure off of the banks thus reducing bank erosion.

Project Grading Complete




All major grading work for the Watts Branch Stream Restoration project has been completed. Remaining tasks include some instream work following DCWATER utility work in the stream and then final plantings in the Fall of 2011.
