Are you dying to discuss one of the hot topics in watershed and stormwater management? Do you have something you need to get off your chest? The Center for Watershed Protection is currently in search of contributors to its monthly blog, Runoff Ramblings.

The blog is a forum for sharing ideas, resources, expertise, and information pertinent to watershed professionals. The blogger’s responsibilities include:

• Creating a short blog to be posted on the Center for Watershed Protection’s website by the middle of the scheduled month.
• Responding to comments and generating discussion with people responding to the blog. The first month or two after the initial posting of the blog are anticipated to be the most active. You will receive an email notification when a new comment has been posted to the blog.

All bloggers will have their photos posted in addition to a short bio and a link where readers can find additional information about you and/or your organization. Runoff Ramblings is distributed to the Center’s network of over 20,000 watershed and stormwater professionals through posting on the website and announcements via email and social media.

Below is a list of potential blog topics, but additional topic ideas are always welcome.

• Green Infrastructure
• Nutrient Trading

• Talking to Elected Officials
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• VA Ruling that Flow is not a Pollutant
• Effectiveness of Environmental Education
