With a primary focus on research innovation and education, this project develops undergraduate data collection and analysis skills while completing useful research on low impact development (LID) features on UC Davis campus. By manually monitoring LID designs, an uncommon practice as hydrologic simulations are generally used in stormwater management designs (SMDs), student interns from the Waterway Stewardship Program help with data collection that can increase informed design decisions based on real results. The goal of this project is to contribute to ways in which we can better assess sustainable water management while collaborating with undergraduate students seeking to enhance their skills in the research field.
