Villanova University’s annual Stormwater Management Workshop “Moving Toward Sustainability” will now be available through a live, online webcast on October 17-18.

The workshop will provide practical, non-engineering information on several techniques for converting runoff and pollution problems into beneficial environmental resources for communities.

The workshop will cover topics such as using forested and vegetated stream-side corridors for capturing runoff and its pollutants, reducing stream water temperature and erosion; renovating and re-vegetating existing stormwater basins to improve volume control, infiltration and pollutant removal efficiencies, reducing rooftop runoff and thermal pollution with vegetated green-roofs, and exploring financial needs and alternatives for long-term operation and maintenance of stormwater management facilities.
