Course Title: Our Future with Water: The Why, What and How of Stormwater Management
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This two-hour course explores practical strategies for managing stormwater in the built environment by capturing, reusing, and slowing runoff using green infrastructure and low-impact design approaches. The program focuses on methods such as rain harvesting, permeable pavements, green roofs, bioswales, rain gardens, and tree planting to improve site performance, reduce flooding, and enhance environmental outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1: Learners will be able to explain why stormwater management is necessary and how unmanaged runoff affects infrastructure, water quality, and community resilience.
Learning Objective 2: Learners will be able to identify and compare stormwater strategies such as rain harvesting, permeable pavements, green roofs, bioswales, rain gardens, and tree planting.
Learning Objective 3: Learners will be able to select appropriate stormwater management techniques to capture, reuse, or slow runoff based on site conditions and project goals.
