Researchers in EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) have been studying green infrastructure practices and developing models and tools to help communities manage their stormwater runoff and address nutrient impairment.  This webinar will present a toolkit consisting of five EPA green infrastructure models and tools, along with communication material that can be used as a teaching tool and as a quick reference resource for use by planners and developers when making green infrastructure implementation decision.  These materials can also be used for low impact development design competitions.  The models and tools included in the toolkit are the National Stormwater Calculator (SWC), Green Infrastructure Wizard (GIWiz), Watershed Optimization Support Tool (WMOST), Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), and Visualizing Ecosystem Land Management Assessments (VELMA).  Find the toolkit at: www.epa.gov/water-research/green-infrastructure-modeling-toolkit

Webinar Date & Time:  December 14, 2016; 3:00 to 4:00 PM ET                     

Who should attend?  State environmental and health agencies, tribes, local governments and municipalities, community and site planners, design engineers, academia and others interested in learning about managing stormwater runoff and addressing nutrient impairment.
