Stormwater and Flood Management: Advancing a Holistic Approach to Wet Weather Flow and Water Quality Management

May 22, 2020

The objectives of Stormwater and Flood Management is: 

  1. Identify options to further advance best management practices of utilities and municipalities for wet weather management for CSO, MS4, and flood control systems. 
  2. Advance a holistic approach to innovative wet weather management such as an integrated stormwater and wastewater planning framework.
  3. Develop and apply a rigorous framework for evaluating the lifecycle costs and co-benefits using a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach for proactive flood management and wet weather management measures.
