Got flood concerns? You're not alone, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is hosting a virtual event you might want to log into. It's called Research Radar: Smart Stormwater Strategies, and it's on the docket for Thursday, October 16, from 10 to 11 AM. This webinar isn't just another meeting; it's a chance to dive into the latest innovations aimed at managing stormwater more effectively. And yes, it's free, but you've gotta register to get in on this.
The lineup for the event is solid: first up, there's the "Sustainable Application of TDA in Stormwater Infiltration and Treatment" project, followed by the intriguing "Development of Biochar Specification Criteria as Soil Amendment for Slopes, Conveyances and Stormwater Treatment Systems (Phase 1)." There’s also the "Stormwater BMP Inspection and Maintenance Resource Guide," promising practical insights for the everyday challenges.

Research Radar is MnDOT and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board's monthly series that zeros in on transportation research. Much like a literal radar, this series anticipates the road ahead, scanning the horizon of innovation and knowledge in search of solutions, improvements, and understandings. Focusing on a different theme each month, these webinars are like a beacon for professionals looking to keep abreast of industry trends and breakthroughs.
If these discussions sound like they might be beneficial, or you just love a good deep dive into the nuts and bolts of how things work, then don't miss out. The future of stormwater management could be getting brighter, and this webinar is a good place to catch a glimpse of that.
