    Minnesota Stormwater Manual

    Published in 2005, the first half of the Minesota Stormater Manual is dedicated to the general Minnesota context for rainwater/stormwater management. The second half of the manual, which includes many diagrams and formulas, is intended mainly for professionals—but homeowners should find useful content as well. The Minnesota Stormwater Steering Committee referenced the British Columbia Guidebook, published in 2002, as an example of an innovative manual. The British Columbia Guidebook was prominently referenced in the 2004 Request for Proposals.

    Rain gardens soak up urban stormwater pollution

    Properly designed “rain gardens” can effectively trap and retain up to 99 percent of common pollutants in urban storm runoff, potentially improving water quality and promoting the conversion of some pollutants into less harmful compounds. This is according to new research scheduled for publication in the February 15, 2006 issue of the American Chemical Society journal, “Environmental Science and Technology”. The affordable, easy-to-design gardens could help solve one of the nation’s most pressing pollution problems.

    Water Balance Model for British Columbia

    The Water Balance Model for BC demonstrates how to achieve significant progress towards sustainability in a number of categories.
