Innovation in the stormwater management sector has introduced new techniques and approaches to address the dynamic nature of treating stormwater. While some new techniques blend new treatment technologies with traditional hard infrastructure solutions, other approaches look to natural or “greener” solutions to meet stormwater management needs. From reverting degraded streams back to more natural streams systems, providing more green forms of treatment to hardscaped areas, and incorporating natural designs, many are looking to bring back the green into stormwater management systems. The Seminar will explore lessons learned from implementing stormwater projects focused on natural solutions vs. hard infrastructure. 

Who Should Attend?
Local and state engineers and stormwater managers, directors of public works, policymakers and regulators; civil and environmental engineers; landscape architects and consultants; and environmentalists and interested citizens.

Service Project
SESWA is excited to partner with the City of Dunwoody, GA on an educational effort to mark storm drains and provide door hangers to residents near the Spring Seminar. On Thursday, April 24, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST, registered Service Project participants will be walking in an assigned neighborhood to affix storm drain markers to catch basins and place door hangers on each house. Teams will be designated at the hotel and then will split up to visit their assigned neighborhood. There will be walking required, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. It will be helpful for local participants to be able to assist with carpooling other volunteers to the sites. There is no cost to register, but we ask that you register in advance via the Seminar registration form to participate. This is your opportunity to help educate the local community and protect our shared water resources by volunteering for this storm drain marking event. We hope to see you there!
