Project Update: Early Adopters of Stormwater Resilience Strategies

Making our stormwater systems resilient requires that infrastructure not only accommodate today’s storms but also the expected conditions and impacts of tomorrow. Incorporating climate information into stormwater management requires explicitly considering changes in precipitation patterns as well as how these fluctuations affect our landscapes. This has been a challenge for many communities because of uncertainty, data gaps, and accessibility of scientific research results.

Sponsor Spotlight: Thank you to all of our 2026 Conference Sponsors!
