Monitoring and Assessing Impacts of Changes in Weather Patterns and Extreme Events on BMP Siting and Design
September 7, 2017 - September 8, 2017Annapolis, MD
This two-day workshop will be held on September 7-8, 2017 to:
1) Assess the state of the knowledge on how anticipated changes in weather patterns and extreme events may affect the structural integrity of a subset of urban stormwater, agriculture, and stream restoration Best Management Practices (BMPs) over time;
2) Review siting and design principles to reduce the future impact of sea level rise, coastal storms, increased temperature and extreme events on BMPs; and,
3) Compile existing tools, identifying remaining gaps, and highest priority needs to better inform and improve BMP development and implementation.
