Assistance
URBAN offers assistance in many ways:
| Low-impact development — | encouraging micro-scale storm water management strategies that mimic the use, storage, detention and recharge of natural water systems. Natural landscapes reduce the amount of runoff and also treat and filter storm water. |
| Education — | using workshops, training sessions, on-site training and field demonstrations to inform about environmentally-friendly ways to control erosion and improve storm water management. |
| Improve water quality — | by reducing construction site erosion and the transport of sediment to streams, rivers, and lakes. |
| Feasibility — | demonstrating the environmental, technical, and economic feasibility of best management practices. |
| Preserve natural hydrology — | illustrating how storm water quality and quantity can be addressed with alternatives that help the landscape absorb water. |
| Training — | engaging developers, engineers, contractors, and others associated with construction to implement sediment control measures. |
| Working hands on — | helping people understand the importance of pollution prevention plans and how to implement and maintain the plans. |
