“Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way.” — Tom Freston
States and localities throughout the nation are struggling to find reliable, cost-effective ways to prevent stormwater runoff from reaching — and polluting — major waterways. Failure to address this major cause of water pollution is endangering health and safety, while increasing the liabilities of communities with permit compliance requirements under the Clean Water Act. However, local government efforts to develop solutions often have been hampered by limited public funding for construction or capacity to implement larger scale projects. This is particularly true for greener stormwater infrastructure projects.
