Fort Wayne, IN is located in the heart of Northeastern Indiana, is a city built around water. Known as the "City of Three Rivers," Fort Wayne is shaped by the St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee Rivers — along with countless lakes, ponds, creeks, and stormwater systems that wind through neighborhoods, parks, and farmlands. Erosion is a growing threat to Fort Wayne’s environment and infrastructure. Unstable riverbanks, sediment-filled drainage ditches, and deteriorating retention ponds are just a few examples of how erosion can disrupt both natural landscapes and city systems. Innovative solutions like ShearForce10 by InstaTurf offers an ideal solution for protecting Fort Wayne’s waterways.
