There are abundant individuals, non-profits, businesses, and partnerships that are conducting critical work to address watershed education, restoration, and protection. A few that Southwest Urban Hydrology has had the pleasure of collaborating with and learning from include:
Green Stormwater Infrastructure in a Semi-arid Climate: The Influence of Rain Gardens on Soil Moisture Over Seven Years
Southwest Urban Hydrology is thrilled to provide an updated article on soil moisture improvements provided by stormwater catchment in rain gardens. The study was published in The Western Planner in November 2022. The intention of the article is to help guide developers, engineers, and planners in their efforts to positively manage stormwater runoff as passive irrigation for trees and shrubs which in turn provide numerous environmental services (e.g. mitigate urban heat island effect, improve pollinator habitat, remediate stormwater pollutants, etc).
