About the Program
Storm water regulations in Alabama and across the country are targeted
on BMP design.
|
·
But which "Best Management Practices" really
work the best?
· Which design techniques are most effective?
· What site considerations have the greatest impact
on design efficiency? |
|
The
Advanced BMP Design
workshop will address these storm water management
questions while looking at innovative urban and suburban storm water
BMPs.
The
Stormwater BMP Academy (Agenda)
will include:
|
|
•
Stormwater wetland and bioretention design
• Level Spreaders
• Permeable pavement structural and hydraulic design
• Interactive case studies
|
It is recommended that participants
in the Advanced BMP Design workshop have attended the Stormwater
BMP Academy.
This workshop
is designed with engineers in mind.
Be sure to bring your calculator, engineering paper, and sharp pencil!
