Development has been occurring within New Jersey along the Raritan River floodplain for centuries resulting in numerous fatalities and expensive property damage. In the last century, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has been the leading task force to combat flooding within the Green Brook Sub-Basin of the Raritan River watershed through traditional flood control techniques. More specifically, Bound Brook, New Jersey has experienced frequent and recurrent flooding due to developmental pressure within the Raritan River floodplain. Unfortunately, flooding remained a centric issue in downtown Bound Brook moving into the twenty-first century. The Green Brook Flood Control Project (GBFCP) was implemented in Bound Brook and the surrounding municipalities by the USACE to provide flood risk reduction for the borough, noting that not all floods would be eliminated. However, some community members perceived the GBFCP to be the ultimate answer that will stifle any future flood related threats. The GBFCP's traditional flood control tactics provide the public with a false sense of hope by implementing static solutions to a complex flood issue that hinders the growth of ecological systems, and diminishes the community's ecological identity. This thesis explores flood management typologies in hopes to enhance environmental awareness by raising the question: How can the implementation of ecological design techniques within urban environments create adaptable and evolving flood risk management solutions while simultaneously fostering a human connection? To answer this question, Bound Brook, New Jersey's history and developmental background, land use and topography, and flood control history were evaluated through mapping, diagrammatic modeling and observational studies to identify how the floodplain has been altered overtime and to recognize that there is still a potential flood threat. Academic research, case study review, and intervention valuation methods identified potential design solutions for Bound Brook's flood management plan. Through these studies, Contemporary Flood Management: Bound Brook, New Jersey presents Bound Brook with a conceptual flood management design that cohesively reduces flood risk to human life by creating more room for water to flow, providing space for ecology to thrive, and linking humans back to their naturalized surroundings.
