and environmentally resilient.
Forum topics will cover integrated stormwater management for
municipalities including:
Maximizing the economic and social value of municipal water
resources, and minimizing the costs of stormwater control;
Creative financing strategies that leverage a variety of funding
sources to augment municipal stormwater budgets;
