Presented by the Center for Research in Water Resources & the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, these FREE workshops will offer an in-depth introduction to the economic benefits, ecological goals, planning techniques, design principles, analytical methodologies, and implementation strategies for monitoring results of the innovative LID technology for stormwater management.
Three national stormwater and LID experts will be speaking: Mr. Larry S. Coffman, Dr. Michael Barrett and Mr. David Dods. National LID expert Mr. Coffman has over 36 years of experience in stormwater management and is considered the nation's foremost expert on LID technologies and programs. Dr. Barrett has been a leader in stormwater and LID research for many years, focusing recently on pervious pavements and pollutant uptake by plants and media in biofiltration systems.
