"This book is full of best practices from the city officials who have been implementing urban street stormwater solutions in the real world, and brings them together in an easy-to-use manual of the caliber of NACTO's earlier guides. It will influence the direction of practice in the same way, giving confidence to those who want to implement these ideas on their own streets."--Janet L. Attarian, Deputy Director, Planning and Development, City of Detroit "Too often we've learned the hard way that the water always wins.
