Water World | GPE – September 29, 2018:

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in partnership with the Water Research Foundation, today released a new report entitled Innovative and Integrated Stormwater Management.

The report is an accumulation of DEP’s examination of stormwater programs from across the country and around the globe, including vital data sharing between New York City and 34 communities. The conversations included lessons learned and the challenges associated with flood mitigation programs, integrated stormwater management initiatives and regulatory compliance.

“Managing stormwater and protecting public health means preparing our communities for a changing climate, but not every program will work for every municipality,” said DEP Acting Commissioner Vincent Sapienza. “By studying the efforts of cities across the country and around the globe, including the challenges they encountered and lessons learned, we believe this report can serve as a roadmap for communities looking for the right approach to better managing stormwater.”
