Managing Storm Water
By Abby Goldstein on Thursday, July 24, 2008.
listen:
Scientists at the University of New Hampshire are studying storm water - where it goes, and how to manage it. Turns out, every time we construct a new building or lay down a new parking lot, we change its natural flow. Runoff from our man-made structures collects pollution, then flows directly back into our rivers, lakes and ponds.
Researchers like James Houle, program manager and outreach coordinator at UNH’s Storm Water Center, are looking at ways to reduce that impact.
