Attendee Registration Coming Soon! 

As urban areas expand and climate patterns become increasingly unpredictable, stormwater systems face unprecedented pressures.  This seminar explores the full spectrum of stormwater management, from initial assessment and data-driven analysist to practical, implementable solutions.  Participants will gain insights into modern approaches for evaluating system performance, identifying vulnerabilities, and prioritizing interventions that enhance resilience, efficiency, and environmental sustainability.  Through case studies, expert presentations, and interactive discussions, attendees will learn how to translate technical assessments into actionable strategies that address today's complex hydrological, regulatory, and infrastructural challenges.  This session is designed for engineers, planners, policymakers, and environmental professionals committed to building more robust, adaptive stormwater systems.   

Who Should Attend?
Local and state engineers and stormwater managers, directors of public works, policymakers and regulators; civil and environmental engineers; landscape architects and consultants; and environmentalists and interested citizens.

Service Project
SESWA is excited to partner with the City of Dunwoody, GA for an educational effort to mark storm drains and provide door hangers to residents near the Spring Seminar. On Thursday, April 16, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST, registered Service Project participants walked in an assigned neighborhood to affix storm drain markers to catch basins and place door hangers on each house. Teams will be designated at the hotel and then will split up to visit their assigned neighborhood.  There will be walking required, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.  It will be helpful for local participants to be able to assist with carpooling other volunteers to the sites.  There is no cost to register, but we aske that you register in advance via the Seminar registration form to participate.  Participants will enjoy a lunch directly afterwards provided/sponsored by the City of Dunwoody, GA.  This is your opportunity to help educate the local community and protect our shared water resources by volunteering for this storm drain marketing event.  We hope to see you there!
