DOING WATER RIGHT: Managing Stormwater with Blue-Green Technology

With stormwater runoff the leading cause of water pollution to our nation's coastal areas, rivers and lakes, it is high time that we learn to manage runoff in the way that nature manages it when given a chance. Doing Water Right looks at seven case studies where engineers and landscape architects have tried to design systems that mimic natural hydrologic processes and allow soil and vegetation to retain water and remove pollutants. DOING WATER RIGHT was commissioned by the Great Swamp Watershed Association and is companion to a technical handbook. It is intended for use by local planning boards, conservation commissions, public works, landscape architects and designers, and watershed associations.
