Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Outlets with how many millions of gallons per year of raw sewage they dump into the Gowanus Canal (2007 NYCDEP data)
The hypothetical storm flows shown were originally set up to reconstruct historic streams and springs. They may be useful for determining rain flow directions and the strategic location of a park or street end suitable for diverting storm water from a street segment where storm drains have been capped.

Gowanus Watershed
General Hypothetical Rainwater Runoff Pattern (basis for Watershed based Study Area) These are based on natural landscape channels where water would run with no building obstructions or storm drain diversions)
Potential Stormwater Management Opportunity (existing topographic sink, where rainwater naturally collects)
Open Space (Existing Parks, but also includes any major vacant lot, or vegetated areas 40 feet away from building
Sources Base Map 2007 New York City Digital Base Map, 2004 USGS Digital Elevation Model, Potential Superfund Contamination Area from Plunz & Culligan “Eco Gowanus” Historic Sanborn Map Study, NYCDEP Sewer Maps, NYCDCP, NYCDOITT data, and custom open space and hydrology layers developed by Eymund Diegel, [email protected].
