As urban sprawl continues to impact water quality throughout our communities, protecting urban waters before they become impaired is of great importance to all municipalities, stakeholders, and individuals. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate methods to protect urban waters before they become impaired. With partners, this project seeks to educate the community about stormwater, introduce low impact development concepts, and host a design charrette to brainstorm and voice opinions and concerns with the goal of creating a sustainable stormwater plan using green infrastructure and low impact development. This approach allows continued collaboration among designers, engineers, stakeholders, and municipalities to implement the safest and most innovative stormwater management plan possible.
