The Koshkonong Creek watershed located in Sun Prairie Wisconsin is experiencing an increasein both the severity and duration of flood events. The goal of this project is to reduce the durationof flood events in the watershed through the implementation of side-channel storage that worksto retain flood waters for a controlled, slow-release after a peak flooding event. Other considerations and efforts of this project include a reduction in sediment and phosphorous loads, reduction in water temperat...
