Are floods threatening your community? Imagine a solution that harnesses the power of nature to protect against rising waters. Welcome to Holly Hill Brook, where hydrology and habitat enhancement have revolutionized flood management.

Natural Features, Powerful Results

Our approach? Natural Flood Management (NFM). It’s about working with nature, not against it.

Picture four linked attenuation ponds and swales, seamlessly integrated into the landscape. These interconnected features slow down floodwater, creating a resilient defense.

But that’s not all. Wildflowers adorn the banks, inviting wildlife. It’s a harmonious blend of function and beauty.

Biodiversity Boost

Holly Hill Brook isn’t just about flood control. It’s a haven for aquatic life—fish, amphibians, and more.

And those gently sloping banks? They’re teeming with biodiversity, supporting a diverse range of bird species.

Beyond Floods

NFM delivers environmental co-benefits. Think carbon storage, water quality improvement, and thriving ecosystems.

Plus, it’s a community effort. Local engagement is key. We’re in this together.

Unlock Resilience

Holly Hill Brook isn’t just a flood management system. It’s a promise of safety, sustainability, and a brighter future.

Join us. Let’s transform Holly Hill Brook—one natural step at a time

Linked Attenuation Ponds and Swales:

The backbone of the system consists of four interconnected ponds and swales.

These features are strategically designed to manage floodwater runoff by slowing its flow.

Additionally, they create habitats that support the growth and well-being of various aquatic organisms.

The gently sloping banks of these ponds and swales will be adorned with beautiful wildflowers, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and attracting wildlife.

Park Area for Children:

A designated space within the project site will be dedicated to children's play and exploration.

This area will feature a range of amenities, including swings, slides, and green spaces, to provide an engaging and enjoyable park experience for children.

Recovery Area for Hospital:

Adjacent to the hospital, a tranquil zone will be created to offer solace and respite in nature.

This area will be thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of patients, staff, and visitors, providing a calming environment for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Picnic Area:

A designated picnic area will be established within the project site.

Shaded picnic tables will be strategically placed to allow people to enjoy meals amidst the natural surroundings.

This area will serve as a gathering spot for families and friends, providing an opportunity for picnics and leisurely activities.

Parking Area:

Convenient parking spaces will be provided for visitors and staff.

The parking area will be designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, ensuring minimal visual impact.

Benefits of the Project:

Flood Resilience: The implementation of linked attenuation ponds and swales will effectively manage floodwater runoff, reducing the risk of flooding in the Holly Hill Brook area.

Biodiversity Enhancement: The creation of habitats within the ponds and swales will support the growth of diverse aquatic life, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the area.

Improved Water Quality: The natural flood management measures will help improve the quality of water by reducing sediment and pollutants carried by runoff.

Community Engagement: The various amenities, such as the children's park, recovery area, picnic area, and parking, aim to engage and benefit the local community by providing recreational spaces and enhancing the overall quality of the environment.
