Minnesota Stormwater Seminar Series

Watershed-scale effectiveness of green stormwater infrastructure





Please join us in person or online on October 23, 2024 at 10:00am CDT for the next Minnesota Stormwater Seminar Series event - a monthly experience featuring national, state, and local experts on stormwater and green infrastructure. This seminar series is a partnership between the University of Minnesota's St. Anthony Falls Laboratory [ [link removed] ] and Water Resources Center [ [link removed] ], and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency [ [link removed] ], and made possible through the Minnesota Stormwater Research and Technology Transfer Program in collaboration with the Minnesota Stormwater Research Council [ [link removed] ].

*Title*: Watershed-scale effectiveness of green stormwater infrastructure

*Speaker & Panelists: *


* Aditi Bhaskar, Associate Professor; Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering; University of Colorado Boulder.
* Julie Westerlund, One Watershed, One Plan Coordinator; Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources
* Ed Matthiesen, Principal, Senior Civil Engineer; Stantec
* Paige Ahlborg, Assistant Administrator, Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District

*Abstract: *This presentation will examine green stormwater infrastructure effectiveness at a watershed-scale. For the past 20 years, streamflow, water quality, geomorphology, and benthic communities were monitored in 5 watersheds in suburban Washington D.C. The monitored watersheds include a forested control, an urban control with centralized stormwater management, and 3 suburban treatment watersheds featuring low-impact development and a high density of infiltration-focused stormwater facilities distributed across the watershed. We found effective imperviousness to better explain the ecological outcomes in the treatment watersheds compared to either directly connected imperviousness or total imperviousness.

*Date and Time*: Wednesday, October 23, 10a – 12p US Central

*In-person:* St. Anthony Falls Laboratory Auditorium (2 Third Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN [ [link removed] ])

*Online: *[link removed] [ [link removed] ] (active 10 minutes prior)
