Grab your lunch and join the Chesapeake Stormwater Network on Tuesday, March 10th at noon (EST), for our latest webinar – Assessing the Effectiveness of Green Stormwater Infrastructure for Addressing Stormwater Management Goals at the Watershed Scale
Project Description:
The primary goal of this research project was to employ a suite of state-of-the-art hydrologic methods to assess the aggregated, watershed-scale effectiveness of using green stormwater infrastructure as part of new suburban residential development in north-central Howard County, Maryland. The field-based study was conducted over 5½ years (2019-2025) on a small (0.31 mi 2 ) watershed drained by an unnamed tributary to the Little Patuxent
River; runoff and water quality responses were monitored through 1) the “pre-GSI” period, 2) the period “during GSI” implementation, and the “post-GSI” period of development. An adjacent watershed (Plumtree Branch, 0.82 mi 2 ), developed using traditional stormwater management, was used as a hydroclimatic control.
Speaker:
Keith Eshleman, Ph.D.
Professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and is based at Appalachian Laboratory in Frostburg, Maryland.
