IRS990/Desc0Los Angeles Rainwater Harvesting Project: Instruct Panorama City residents on the benefits of water-related, climate-resilient retrofits to their properties, assist residents in completing the retrofits, create city-approved standard plans for these retrofits, and monitor changes in runoff using established monitoring stations. In this period, the River Project developed a conceptual plan for managing stormwater at the Ranchito Elementary School campus in the project area, continued ongoing outreach to the community, conducted two dozen workshops, undertook 25 residental site evaluations, began development of a set of How-To guidance plans, continued development of an interactive project website (www.waterla.org), led TAC meetings with City agencies, completed development of conceptual plans for retrofits, began development of the final set of plans, and completed implementation of several projects. The program was presented by invitation to the National Academy of Sciences to support a study of the benefits of stormwater capture and greywater use.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Woodman Ave. Median Green Infrastructure Project: Phase 1 was concluded with a ribbon cutting event in February of 2014, organized by the River Project in collaboration with our City partners. For the project's Phase 2, the River Project under contract with LADWP, is responsible for providing vegetation monitoring and maintenance, and for overseeing the design and implementation of the median's interpretive projects. The River Project conducted educational programs with local students on interpretive design and native landscape maintenance, led volunteer and staff maintenance sessions, and completed the interpretive project's conceptual design. After an unusually heavy rain event compromised the median's structural integrity, The River Project was asked to provide expertise in analyzing the cause of the failures and advice on a plan of repair. The River Project kept the community informed about the project's progress and coordinated with partner agencies throughout.
