Agenda - Continuing Education - Registration Fees - Hotel Information - Sponsor Information

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 explored lessons learned from implementing stormwater projects focused on natural solutions vs. hard infrastructure.

Service Project
SESWA partnered with the City of Dunwoody, GA for 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 walked in an assigned neighborhood to affix storm drain markers to catch basins and place door hangers on each house. This was a special opportunity to help educate the local community and protect our shared water resources by volunteering for this storm drain marking event.
