Historic Community Fights Flooding

The federally-funded Ohio Creek Watershed Project uses a mix of manmade and natural-based engineering solutions to help prepare the low-income, century-old community from rising waters and storm surge in the coming decades. It all started as a student project working with the community of Chesterfield Heights. Officials nationwide are now watching to see whether it works.
