Engineering with Nature (EWN) is a program developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). EWN represents an approach to a wide range of activities supporting water resources development, such as new flood risk management infrastructure, a dredging or an ecosystem restoration project. The USACE defines EWN as the intentional alignment of natural and engineering processes to efficiently and sustainably deliver economic, environmental and social benefits through collaboration.
