Dry Run Creek Watershed Improvement Project

Stay up to date on watershed projects, issues and events going on in Dry Run Creek, Cedar Falls! The Dry Run Creek watershed is in a state of constant change.

Urban development has produced habitat alteration and a drastic increase in the rate and volume of stormwater inputs. It is the goal of this project to work to repair the damage done to in-stream habitat and reduce the rate and volume of stormwater flow using infiltration practices. In addition agricultural lands will also require attention in an effort to reduce the delivery of eroded soils to th

e creek. Agricultural practices including grassed waterways, buffer strips, conservation tillage and many others will be used to achieve the desired reduction.
