Stormwater Management Pond Design
Manage runoff, improve water quality, and enhance local biodiversity.
We design stormwater ponds using nature-based principles, integrating ecological design to create functional, sustainable habitats that mimic natural water cycles.
Function, beauty, and a thriving environment
When it comes to stormwater management plans, we integrate regulatory compliance, functionality, beauty, and ecological value. Our team also works on projects to restore degraded water bodies, improve habitat for local wildlife, and create educational installations.
Dougan Ecology’s 4 steps for watershed management:
SITE ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS, including hydrological studies, and soil and vegetation evaluations.
DESIGN AND PLANNING, which integrates natural systems' functionality by incorporating wetland and vegetated swale features.
IMPLEMENTATION, including planting native vegetation and installation of created wildlife habitat elements to enhance biodiversity value and water quality.
MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE, including regular inspections and adaptive management, to ensure the vegetation is established successfully.
Dougan Ecology is guided by a deeply collaborative approach with clients and agencies.
Our expertise ensures compliance with all relevant environmental regulations, providing stormwater designs that meet legal requirements, promote sustainability, and ensure approvals.
We work closely with water resource engineers, working together to ensure that stormwater management not only controls runoff, but also enhances biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. We tailor our designs to the unique needs of the site.
We create ecologically-sound hydrological designs.
From stormwater management and pond design, to erosion control and habitat restoration, our multidisciplinary team is ready to work with you.
