Mikel Wilkins is a Senior Engineer at San Antonio River Authority (SARA) and will provide an overview of how SARA is prioritizing implementation of nature based solutions throughout the SA River watershed informed by extensive laboratory verified water quality models. The presentation will discuss the identification and development of multi-benefit project concepts within the Leon Creek, Salado Creek and Upper San Antonio River watersheds.

SARA will also discuss how these planning efforts will complement ongoing CoSA Phase 4 Community Area Plans, betterments to the Westside Creeks Ecosystem Restoration project, and the overarching goal to address impairments to streams in rivers throughout the basin.
