3. Watershed Arithmetic -- Crediting & Counting Your Watershed Practices Towards TMDL Goals:

Add to Cart
In the world of TMDLs and watershed plans with quantitative goals (e.g., X pounds of pollutants reduced), we tend to count what can be counted.  The conundrum is that many practices we may undertake in a watershed are difficult to quantify, yet still worthwhile.  How do watershed programs undertake the process to deciding what to count and then quantifying benefits?  This applies to structural practices, such as stormwater retrofits, as well as non-structural, such as watershed stewardship.  There are also a host of practices for which benefits may be difficult to quantify, such as stream restoration, illicit discharge elimination, watershed forestry, and nutrient management.  Learn from practitioners who manage these programs how to structure an equitable and science-based program for counting and crediting watershed and stormwater practices.  This webcast is hosted in conjunction with the Chesapeake Stormwater Network.
