Stormwater parks, which are public facilities that enhance communities by providing stormwater treatment and recreational opportunities in the same location, should be viewed as community infrastructure assets. These integrated systems not only treat polluted runoff from increased urbanization, but also provide improved overall aesthetics, recreational and educational opportunities, and livability where they are constructed. As […]
Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) designed as landscape amenities in a highly public setting require regular ongoing maintenance to remain effective and attractive.

Within a few years, there will be over a thousand District-owned stormwater green infrastructure (GI) assets within the Right-of-Way that all require maintenance. The District Department of Transportation’s bioretention, permeable pavement, and other stormwater best management practice (BMPs) are frequently subject to adverse urban conditions that lead to trash buildup, sedimentation, clogging, and other types […]
After the release of the ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 150: Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Development and Implementation – Models, Methods, and Resources, in February 2022, the Task Committee on EWRI TMDL Analysis and Modeling continues its work to advance the state-of-the-practice in TMDL development and implementation planning and address emerging […]
There are many reasons why cities should consider retrofitting abandoned lots into small parks. Not only have they been shown to enhance the happiness and sense of community for residents, but these green spaces can also help improve the hydrological condition of urban areas by reducing impervious cover. WSP was tasked with the design of […]
