Attention all university students and professors! The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water wants you to reimagine how we move stormwater.
This fall, it will hold its first-ever Campus RainWorks Challenge, and students are being encouraged to submit designs for innovative green infrastructure on their university’s campus. Student teams must work with a faculty adviser to create two design boards, a project narrative, and a short video explaining their ideas. The work will be judged by a panel of landscape architects, engineers, and EPA staff who will be looking at how well the design functions environmentally, socially, and economically.
To compete, you must register online between September 4 and October 5. Entries are due December 14, and the winners will be announced on Earth Day 2013. The winning students will receive cash prizes and their advisers will receive research grants. Click here to learn more about the competition.
