Accounting for Climate Change in Post-Construction Stormwater Standards

Figure 1. Typology of Stormwater Design Adaptations to Climate Change   Stormwater management systems have historically been designed based on the assumption that climate is stable. The unprecedented rate of change in global climate patterns therefore has important implications for stormwater managers; yet, incorporating climate information into stormwater management has been a challenge for many communities. This study’s objective was to review the existing state post-construction stormwater standards to provide a clearer understanding of the current stormwater management approaches to climate resiliency.   To achieve this objective, CWP first reviewed the technical literature to identify: 1) vulnerabilities posed by [...]

New Simple Tool Helps Chesapeake Bay Communities Calculate Benefits of Stormwater and Greening Projects

The Center for Watershed Protection (CWP) is pleased to announce the release of a new, simple tool to help communities in the Chesapeake Bay more easily and consistently estimate the water quality benefits of proposed stormwater retrofit and greening projects.  The Green Stormwater Infrastructure siMple Pollutant Load reduction Estimator (Green SIMPLE) tool was specifically developed for use by organizations conducting planning and implementation of stormwater retrofits and community greening projects in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, with a specific focus on lower-capacity entities such as neighborhood associations, non-profits, and small local governments. The Green SIMPLE tool is an easy-to-use spreadsheet that [...]
