10 Stormwater Resources for Civil Engineers

Staying up to date with the latest developments in stormwater management can be challenging due to the vast number of resources available. To help you navigate the plethora of information, we've curated a list of the top ten stormwater websites that every civil engineer should bookmark.

1.      International Stormwater BMP Database https://bmpdatabase.org/: Offers comprehensive data on the performance of various stormwater BMPs, providing valuable benchmarks and design insights.

2.     Stormwater Solutions https://www.stormwater.com/: Provides industry news, articles, videos, and professional development opportunities, keeping engineers informed about the latest trends and technologies.

3.     WEF Stormwater Report https://stormwater.wef.org/: A go-to source for updates on green infrastructure, policy changes, and innovative stormwater practices.

4.     Minnesota Stormwater Seminar Series YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@MNStormwaterSeminar/videos: Features educational videos and presentations from experts on various stormwater management topics.

5.     The Center for Watershed Protection: https://cwp.org/: Offers technical assistance, training, and research on best practices for watershed and stormwater management.

6.     New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Manufactured Treatment Devices (MTDs) Certifications: https://dep.nj.gov/stormwater/stormwater-manufactured-treatment-devices/ Multiple states have adopted NJDEP's certification as a standard for their own stormwater management practices. Multiple states have adopted NJDEP's certification as a standard for their own stormwater management practices. This site outlines MTDs approved usage, certification process, and maintenance requirements to ensure effective stormwater management and pollutant removal.

7.     State of Washington Department of Ecology Emerging stormwater treatment technologies (TAPE) Program: https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Guidance-technical-assistance/Stormwater-permittee-guidance-resources/Emerging-stormwater-treatment-technologies#tape Like New Jersey, multiple states have adopted the Emerging Stormwater Treatment Technologies (TAPE) program. This site lists the devices that have been designated through the TAPE process.

8.     EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES): https://www.epa.gov/npdes: Provides guidelines and regulatory information on stormwater discharge and permitting processes.

9.     American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Library: https://ascelibrary.org/ Access to numerous technical papers, journals, and conference proceedings on stormwater engineering.

10. The Precipitation Frequency Data Server (PFDS): https://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/pfds/ Provides a point-and-click interface to deliver NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation frequency estimates and associated information. 

These resources are designed to help you stay current with industry advancements, enhance your technical skills, and implement effective stormwater management solutions in your projects.
