Stories of Successful Stormwater Management Projects from the Field

Let It Rain: From Runoff to Renewal

Stormwater is the theme for Freshwater Future's 2006/2007 Success Stories. Though the challenges addressed vary: a dying lake, stream bank erosion, big box developments, and heavily paved cities polluting local water bodies, stormwater is a connecting thread across each of these stories. So, too are the advocates. Using ingenuity, creativity and open-minds, local advocates successfully turn stormwater runoff into a source for renewal in their communities.
