Registration

This workshop is designed for students, lake managers, lake community residents and applied limnologists interested in learning more about stormwater management.

The overarching goal of the workshop is to demonstrate the importance of implementing ecologically appropriate, cost-effective green infrastructure stormwater management techniques as part of comprehensive lake restoration plan. The workshop addresses each of the following:

  • The role and importance of stormwater management as part of a long-term lake restoration plan.
  • Basic introduction to the hydrologic and hydraulic principles of stormwater runoff and its management to meet quantity, rate and quality control goals.
  • Instruction in the use of simple to use public domain models and tools to compute runoff pollutant loads and runoff volumes.
  • Present and discuss the common green infrastructure stormwater management techniques that can be implemented in lake communities at both lot-specific (small) and community-wide (regional) scales.
  • Review of design and construction specifications and the maintenance requirements of the more commonly implemented green infrastructure stormwater management techniques used in lake communities.
  • Provide real world examples of the more commonly implemented green infrastructure stormwater management techniques.
