THE
CONFERENCE
"Stormwater
Management
in Cold Climates: Planning, Design, and Implementation" was the first
international
North American Conference dedicated specifically to addressing
the
challenges of urban stormwater management in cold climates.
Our vision was
to
provide a forum for dialogue, information exchange and problem-solving
across multiple disciplines and cold climate regions. Two days of
outstanding sessions featured forward-thinking experts addressing a
broad
range of important stormwater topics. We welcomed 55 presenters
and
375 participants from Norway, Sweden, Iceland, New Zealand, Canada, and
twenty-two U.S. states. Representative included engineers,
scientists,
U.S. state and federal government employees, municipal staff,
developers,
designers, landscape architects, contractors, students, and
others.
Twenty-two stormwater product manufacturers, service providers, and
organizations
exhibited at the conference.
Whether you
attended
the sold-out conference or not, we hope the proceedings which include
the
contributions of more than twenty speakers will be of value to
you.
Many hands will be needed to accomplish the task of managing stormwater
in the 21st century. In this era of rapid urban development,
competition
or government dollars, and increased awareness of the ties bewteen
environmental
and social issues, producting our water resources is becoming an
inncreasingly
complex challenge. Through our combined efforts, that challenge
can
be met.
