On November 16, Brett Emmons will present on "Stormwater Re-Use Examples of Success: From Urban Re-Development, to Highway, to District-Level" at Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership's 2023 Designing for Tomorrow Conference. https://lnkd.in/gqzUhZ3K 💧 Session description: "Using case studies to illustrate how holistic stormwater management, when combined with stormwater re-use, can provide a win-win for water management. Applying re-use to different development densities and physical/regulatory constraints will be shared, along with how project owners and regulatory entity’s needs were met. U.S. and Canadian case studies will be used, providing a broad perspective on this important, developing practice." #stormwatermanagement #lowimpactdevelopment #watermanagement

Will this start a new trend? Will cities start suing their upstream / grade neighbors for stormwater draining into their communities and systems? The City of Lancaster, PA, who has a robust stormwater and Green Infrastructure program is suing their neighboring township for the pollutant runoff they recieve and ultimately to treat under their consent decree.

Stormwater in our rivers – it's a topic that's been in the news a lot this year, and for good reason. This is a major environmental concern and not something any of us wants to see. At PBJ Engineering Services, our work with water companies gives us a front-row seat to the industry's efforts in tackling these environmental challenges. We're all about supporting improvements in our wastewater infrastructure. And there's been some positive news on this front. In the last week, Southern Water has announced the installation of a new £1 million storm tank at Edenbridge Wastewater Treatment Works in Kent. This vast structure allows more stormwater to be held at the site instead of releasing it into the environment. This development benefits nearby rivers such as the Eden and the Medway. And with Southern Water committing £1.5 billion to clean our waterways, hopefully, it's the sort of thing we'll see much more of in the coming months. #WastewaterTreatment #WaterPollution

The stormwater community is witnessing the burgeoning implementation of green infrastructure and Low Impact Development (LID) practices. A systematic approach is necessary to identify an LID-based technology suitable for a given site. The LID technology selection pyramid illustrates a step-by-step approach to identify technologies to meet the fundamental goals of LID – runoff reduction and water quality treatment. Keep reading about the LID Technology Selection Pyramid at the link in the first comment.  #stormwater #civilengineering #waterquality #aquashield #greeninfrastructure

Proper upkeep of #StormwaterManagement assets creates a number of benefits throughout the #Infrastructure lifecycle. 💧🔄 By implementing a robust stormwater asset #OperationsAndMaintenance (O&M) program, #PublicAgencies will see advantages such as protection of lives and property, #FloodMitigation, better water quality, improved system performance and even recreational opportunities. 🚵♀️ Our perspective shares three steps for developing an effective O&M program for best management practices: https://lnkd.in/ds9PwjWj

The national spotlight remained on #infrastructure in 2023. Learn more about #stormwater infrastructure and how it plays an important role in local #water management. Engineering News-Record published a special water section (pg. 39 - 51) in the December 11, 2023 issue featuring Oldcastle Infrastructure's BioPod biofilter on the cover page.
