Topic: Where Have All the Ditches Gone? The Value of Bioswales as Stormwater Detention Features

Speakers: Anthony Kendrick, Project Manager and Matthew Smith, Business Development, Construction EcoServices, based in Houston, TX.

Surface storage in the form of water features and stormwater ponds are a great tool, but often they become a costly maintenance burden for property owners. This presentation will provide an insight on how bioswales can be used for stormwater detention and how they can lower long-term maintenance costs.

This free presentation is available for designers, engineers, contractors, home builders, developers, landscapers/landscape maintenance crews, Government public works crews, property owners, municipal and county personnel, professionals with licensure, and is open to the general public. Program participants will have the chance to engage in this program and ask questions for this topic.

This online workshop is funded in part through a Green Infrastructure grant program with the US EPA, Arkansas Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Division and the Beaver Watershed Alliance.
