Stormwater Pond Information and Programming in the Coastal Zone
Introduction
More than 9,000 residential stormwater ponds in the eight coastal counties of South Carolina have been built to control stormwater runoff and protect downstream water quality.
In order to maintain and enhance the functionality of the stormwater ponds, we need to ensure that our coastal residents, stormwater managers, and researchers have access to the most relevant information, tools, and resources needed to make sound management decisions, communicate their efforts, and inform sustainable behaviors.
To do this, a team of partners from various organizations collaborate on programming efforts yearly, including the Healthy Pond Series and Stormwater Pond Conferences.
