Natick has teamed up with 19 other communities and the Charles River Watershed Association to create the first ever Charles River Watershed Flood Model. The model projects future flooding conditions within the watershed. It also informs the town how future flooding would change if certain mitigation projects were implemented—also know as “nature-based solutions”—such as preserving open space or reducing impervious surfaces (parking lots).

The public’s input on such projects is requested via a 5-minute survey, open through March 1, 2022.
