Design, Construction, and Maintenance of LID Practices: Results from a Field Assessment in Virginia's James River Watershed

摘要

In 2008, the Center for Watershed Protection, Inc. (CWP) and project partners conducted a field assessment of nearly two hundred stormwater management facilities, including selected LID practices, throughout urban areas of Virginia's James River watershed. This assessment was conducted as part of CWP's Extreme BMP Makeover project, a three-year endeavor to aggressively improve the nutrient reduction achieved by stormwater best management practices (BMPs) within Virginia's James River watershed and the greater Chesapeake Bay region. The project is funded in part by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
