The design of stormwater management systems is evolving. Engineers and planners cannot manage stormwater using practices of the last several decades. New and future rules will simply not allow it. Just like detention basins, designs that incorporate infiltration, water quality treatment, and stream bank protection will change dramatically over the next several years as we learn more about design and maintenance. Consequently, engineering and planning firms that understand and are involved with research on these new practices will have an advantage over those firms that do not.  Our Partners, Members, and Friends, both from the public and private sector, understand this reality and have joined us in our mission to advance the practice of comprehensive stormwater management.       VUSP 2007 Update
