Event Description: The primary goal of this research project was to employ a suite of state-of-the-art hydrologic methods to assess the aggregated, watershed-scale effectiveness of using green stormwater infrastructure as part of new suburban residential development in north-central Howard County, Maryland. The field-based study was conducted over 5½ years (2019-2025) on a small (0.31 mi 2 ) watershed drained by an unnamed tributary to the Little Patuxent River; runoff and water quality responses were monitored through 1) the “pre-GSI” period, 2) the period “during GSI” implementation, and the “post-GSI” period of development. An adjacent watershed (Plumtree Branch, 0.82 mi 2 ), developed using traditional stormwater management, was used as a hydroclimatic control. |
