Tracking Storm Runoff

The image of storm drains being cleared across New Hampshire has be prevalent during the past week. We're going to look at what exactly is heading down into those drains and what the effects on water quality. We'll also look at a new field report that tracks stormwater runoff and explore state-of-the-art technologies used to improve coastal water systems.

Our guests are:
Robert Roseen, director of the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center
Richard Langan, director of the Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (a partnership between UNH and NOAA) and of the Cooperative Institute for Open Ocean Aquaculture Project.

We'll also hear a short documentary by producer Sean Cole about four towns in Massachusetts that sacrificed themselves to create the Quabbin Resevoir 80 years ago. The piece comes to us by way of the Public Radio Exchange. Click here for a direct link to Sean's story.
