Starting in 2015, Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) began a monitoring pilot to assess the impact of Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater management strategies that provide enhanced water quality and quantity treatment. Located in the City of Brampton, the Wychwood Subdivision was the first subdivision in the Credit River Watershed to use a LID only stormwater management system in place of a stormwater pond. As such, this subdivision was utilized as a study site for the Low Impact Development Infrastructure Performance and Risk Assessment Pilot to address priority monitoring objectives identified in the Credit Valley Conservation Stormwater Management Monitoring Strategy.<\/p>\n

Located on the southern fringes of the Denver metro area, Castle Rock is one of the fastest growing communities in the country. Its population has skyrocketed from 20,224 in 2000 to nearly 72,000 today. Seventy percent of Castle Rock’s water supply comes from nonrenewable groundwater, so as the town grew, officials had to figure out how to stretch that supply. In 2006, the water utility and the planning department started collaborating to address that issue.<\/p>\n

The Water Wise Gulf South Model is founded on the fact that residents have a rich knowledge of their own communities, so it is important for residents to be in the driver\u2019s seat when advancing green infrastructure in their communities.<\/p>\n

Flood resilience bridges different areas of planning, including transportation, parks, economic development, hazard mitigation, emergency management, and comprehensive land use, but these plans are often poorly integrated with one another.<\/p>\n

Working closely with local community organizations, government agencies and elected officials, DLANDstudio initiated and designed a new kind of public open space: a completely modular street-end Sponge Park™. The design equally values the aesthetic, programmatic, and productive importance of treating contaminated water flowing into the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, an EPA Superfund site<\/p>\n

Duke Pond now supplies more than 100 million gallons of non-potable water per year, supporting the chilled water plant, the university\u2019s largest water user, to cool the campus. Capturing stormwater runoff from 265 acres containing the densest and most urban portion of campus, the pond effectively cleans this contaminated stormwater before slowly releasing it downstream into one of America\u2019s most endangered rivers.<\/p>\n
