ABSTRACT ONLY:
To control flooding, the City of Yucaipa, California, recently constructed a series of three detention basins along Oak Glen Creek. However, the basins are also designed to improve downstream water quality, promote the infiltration of storm water, and facilitate groundwater recharge, providing a model of integrated watershed management.
