Using Rainwater to Grow Livable Communities

Abstract

A website designed to encourage and facilitate the integration of stormwater BMPs into development projects by providing tools and resources for effective communication and implementation. The comprehensive format includes in-depth case studies that examine BMP integration in several cities across the U.S. It's an excellent resource for anyone interested or involved in stormwater management and development projects. Published by WERF. (2007)

As of February 2020, the web tool is no longer available.

Originally funded as WERF project 04-SW-1.
