February 18: Low-Impact Development: Mitigation for Property Owners

If every individual property owner in Houston took simple measures to mitigate storm water runoff, the size and scope of immense, big-ticket engineering solutions to catastrophic flooding could be reduced. Kevin Shanley leads a discussion about low-impact development— small-scale approaches for filtering and storing runoff, with an emphasis on conservation and use of on-site natural features to protect water quality.

Kevin Shanley is the former CEO of SWA Group, an international landscape architecture and urban design firm that was instrumental in the landmark 1992 plan for Sims Bayou, saving it from being lined in concrete. He also served as a board member, president, and chairman of the Bayou Preservation Association.
