Center Completes the Wetlands and Watersheds Article Series with Article 5: "The Next Generation of Stormwater Wetlands"
Ellicott City, MD - "The Next Generation of Stormwater Wetlands" is the latest and final release of the six-part Wetlands & Watersheds Article Series from the Center for Watershed Protection.
This article provides information about a new generation of
stormwater wetlands with improved performance and community acceptance, in the
hopes of rejuvenating their use as a stormwater treatment practice. Two new
stormwater wetland designs are presented: an emergent wetland/pond system and a
wooded wetland.
The authors recommend their use in place of the classic shallow
marsh and pond/wetland system designs, and discuss
some ways to further develop and test these new prototypes. Visit the wetlands website to learn how communities can integrate wetlands into larger watershed protection efforts. Also available are Articles 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 of the series. All articles are available for free download.
