2. Smart Stormwater Retrofitting in the Urban Environment:

closed
Finding cost-effective stormwater retrofits in urban landscapes can be challenging and demands “staying with the problem.”  In addition to all the usual suspects of limited space, utilities, disturbed soils, and expensive real-estate, it is often hard to design these retrofits with enough storage to capture the desired rainfall depth from the drainage area.  Well. . .you should probably know how technologies that were basically unavailable five years ago can you help to design and implement “smart” retrofits.  This is not the science fiction of stormwater, but some very interesting innovations in the use of the Internet, sensors, and other devices that can enhance rainfall capture and treatment within very limited footprints.
