Register for Webcast on the “National Stormwater Calculator”
EPA will host a Watershed Academy Webcast on Oct. 23, 2013 from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm Eastern on the new
“National Stormwater Calculator.” This new calculator is
designed for anyone interested in reducing runoff from a property
including: site developers, landscape architects, urban planners,
homeowners and others. It can help users decide which stormwater
management practices to install such as a rain garden or a green roof.
This calculator is a
desktop application that
estimates the annual amount of rainwater and frequency of runoff from a
specific site anywhere in the United States (including Puerto Rico).
Estimates are based on local soil conditions,
land cover, and historic rainfall records.
