Here in the Ozarks, one of our most precious resources is
the water. People are drawn to this area for the abundance of
beautiful lakes and streams, yet with this population growth
comes diminishing water quality. Ever-increasing demands on
natural resources have created new challenges for builders and
developers. As awareness of environmental issues rises, so does
the demand for greener, less negatively impactful building
techniques. Whether driven by tighter regulations designed to
protect our natural resources or customer demand, conscientious
development decisions are a must to stay competitive and protect
our resources. |

This conference will provide tools you need to begin
incorporating stormwater management Low Impact Development (LID)
techniques into your everyday designs. Learn various LID methods
specific for our area, compare costs with traditional design
methods, see innovative products for implementing these
practices into your project, and tour local sites currently
using these innovative building methods. By studying various
site-planning and hydrological based methods, some new, some
currently utilized worldwide, lid techniques offers solutions to
these challenges. Promoted by the EPA, LID can help meet the
Clean Water Act requirements, preserve our water quality and
replenish our aquifer, while offering economical benefits.
Professional Development hours are available. Cost for
the 2-day conference is $150.00. See below for speaker, agenda,
registration or information about the Design Charrette.
Now accepting student
registration ONLY $75.00 (for conference only,
