The City of Oskaloosa, Iowa, is perched high above various converging floodplains on the edge of town, yet it still experiences localized neighborhood flooding. Instead of a piecemeal approach, the City opted to take a more holistic approach and address multiple issues through the development of a stormwater conveyance system master plan.

The development of the master plan utilized sophisticated 2D H&H modeling and collaborative project identification/prioritization while incorporating data from public outreach efforts. The master plan will change how the City manages its stormwater system in a more sustainable manner moving forward.

HR Green’s Sandy Pumphrey, PE, CFM, ENV SP, and Sean Murphy from the City of Oskaloosa share their insight in the presentation Data-based Stormwater Master Planning in Oskaloosa, IA.
