pollution is a problem that is growing in scope and
magnitude. Communities need planners, designers, engineers, and other
professionals to create resilient and affordable infrastructure solutions for
stormwater management. EPA’s Campus RainWorks Challenge invites the current

become part of the solution. Registration opens September 1.
