Powderhorn Neighborhood of Raingardens: A Citizen-Based Approach to Stormwater Management

This project evaluated community outreach approaches through a pilot study of fast-tracked installation of over 100 raingardens in a 28-acre subwatershed draining to Powderhorn Lake in Minneapolis. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) were installed on private property. The project included stormwater monitoring  to assess reductions in pollutant loads or volume.
