The 2010 Stormwater Symposium: Navigating Changes in Stormwater Technology and Policy
Jump to: Program At-a-Glance, Poster Presentations
The October 2010 Stormwater Symposium was hosted by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center and The Inger and Walter Rice Center for Environmental Life Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University. The symposium included speakers from Virginia and the surrounding region and provided insights into the technologies, policies, and economics of stormwater control.
The morning session focused on regulatory policies related to stormwater management from a national, statewide, and local government perspective. Speakers addressed how the Chesapeake Bay TMDL (total maximum daily load) is expected to impact stormwater management in Virginia.
The afternoon session began with a presentation on economic issues and followed by descriptions of technological advances used to prevent and control stormwater runoff, including ideas on how to meet the Bay TMDL’s expected requirements, the use of GIS to help forecast flooding areas for applications in urban planning, and the design and evaluation of stormwater control measures.
The morning and afternoon sessions concluded with a 20-minute group discussion. During this time, the audience was invited to ask questions about any of the presentations and make comments about the topics covered in the presentations. The mid-day poster session included 27 volunteered posters that highlighted basic and applied research on science, policy, and socio-economic issues related to understanding and managing stormwater.
