Integrating Stormwater

About the Webinar

In this webinar, we’ll talk about the need to increase stormwater treatment in our urban areas—bringing back some control into flooding events, and boosting stormwater capture and recycling. We’ll also explore ideas on how we can use the urban environment itself to effectively manage stormwater and the issues that need to be considered in dealing with the aforementioned challenges.
