Implementation of BMPs for Watershed Management and Flood Resiliency - A Case Study

Learn about a successful watershed management case study presented at the Georgia Water Resources Conference that examines the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in St. Marys, GA. Explore how a Section 319(h) Grant funded the installation of 19,000 square feet of permeable pavement and 7,000 square feet of bioretention along downtown corridors. Discover the monitoring process involving 14 shallow wells used to evaluate the hydrologic performance of green infrastructure practices in challenging coastal conditions, including shallow water tables, tidal influences, and flat topography. Gain insights from the comprehensive monitoring results and understand the practical implications of implementing watershed management and flood resiliency measures in coastal environments.
