Residence Hall Research Site Email
Associated Project(s):Below is an email sent by Dr. Edwin Herricks to Morgan White regarding a research site to study stormwater mitigation designs.
Morgan,
You may not know, but some time ago I led a project to create a research site on the parking lot across from the residence halls to study parking lot stormwater mitigation designs. Of importance we installed a weir for a gauging capability for the lot discharge. Unfortunately, the U did not proceed with the lot improvements so the weir simply sits.
