Description:
Water resource managers have been successful in developing approaches for reducingnonpoint source pollution in newly developing urban areas. Isssues become increasingly complex, however, when managers are faced with the challenge of reducing nonpoint source impacts within previously developed urban environments. A diverse assortment of resource management tools, or "retrofits," is being developed, but their implementation has been hampered by a lack of technology transfer opportunities. This confrence was designed to address these issues and to transfer much-needed information to state and local water resource practitioners. Session topics included retrofit opportunity identification, modeling and monitoring approaches for retrofit applications, conservation design strategies, innovative financing approaches, evaluating results and measuring success, newly emerging technologies, urban revitalization issues, riparian reforestation, and public education and involvement programs. This document will be useful to individuals who are interested in information about retrofitting techniques and approaches to improving protection of urban water resources.
