Environmental Center of the Rockies
Demonstration Project-- Urban Storm Runoff
Technical Summary
Detailed Analysis
Historical Background
BASIN is proud to be involved with a cutting-edge demonstration project and study on urban storm runoff at the Environmental Center of the Rockies on the southwest corner of Broadway and Baseline in Boulder. Working with Dr. James Heaney and his graduate students Dave Samples and Len Wright as well as others involved with the demonstration project, BASIN will offer data, information and preliminary conclusions about the project.
Urban storm runoff is a major contributor to surface and possibly groundwater pollution. This project provides an opportunity to examine how parking lots, landscaping and design can impact water quality.
