Description

This course has been discontinued.

Everyone can't stop talking about ways to "reduce our footprint" on our planet. Engineers have a unique opportunity to aid in this effort when designing a project and one of those ways is through stormwater harvesting. Historically, stormwater has been collected as quickly as possible and conveyed away from the site. However, with harvesting stormwater, you collect and store the water on the project site, infiltrating as much of the water as possible. This allows the post-development conditions to more closely mimic the pre-development conditions, reduces the ...
