TEAMS - OVERVIEW OF EPA'S WET-WEATHER LOW RESEARCH PROGRAM (URBAN WATERSHED MANAGEMENT BRANCH)
Citation:
Description:
The Urban Watershed Management Branch researches, develops and evaluates technologies, practices and systems to manage risks to human health and ecosystems from Wet Weather Flow (WWF)sources in urban watersheds. The focus is on the risk management aspects of WWF research. It addresses effects and risk assessment questions and presents information on what is known in these areas, but emphasizes developing better risk-management decision support tools and WWF control technologies. Technologies being studied include both end-of-pipe and upstream pollution prevention, land and water management, and low-structurally intensive approaches.
