VUSP Mission
 

In 2002, The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and Villanova University’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering formed the Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership (VUSP).

The mission of the VUSP is to advance the evolving field of sustainable stormwater management and to foster the development of public and private partnerships through research on innovative stormwater Best Management Practices, directed studies, technology transfer and education.

  • Research and directed studies will emphasize sustainable watershed stormwater management planning, implementation, and evaluation.

  • Technology transfer will provide tools, guidance and education for the professional.

  • Partnership goal is to promote cooperation amongst the private, public and academic sectors.

We have several categories of Members and Partners

Partners and Members refer to our private and public sector contributors that sit on our board, and are key contributors to the direction and sustainment of the VUSP research.  We welcome inquiries from future members. (Information on how to become a VUSP member)

The VUSP has joined forces with two other research efforts, the TVSSI and LID-MARC.
