This session will discuss stormwater management strategies employed at the regional and site level to reduce flood risk and adverse effects of urbanization.

Learning Outcomes:

Discover strategies for requiring development in rural communities to maximize preservation of rural landscapes.
Learn how stormwater management strategies can be employed to preserve and protect rural landscapes.
Learn about innovative land development codes that mitigate increased flood risk .
Understand an innovative methodology for identifying the most effective regional stormwater management locations without performing a costly and complext hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model.
