Abstract:
This project reviews the history of stormwater, stormwater regulations in the United
States and in Indiana. It reviews basic geological and watershed concepts and provides a guide
for communities in Indiana to implement best practices for stormwater projects. Very little
research has focused on the stormwater runoff issues uniquely affects small rural and/or heavily
agricultural communities. Additionally, little professional expertise has been dedicated to
helping such communities develop best practices to address these issues. This research seeks to
begin this conversation.
