The presentation will give a history of our region and a context for the stormwater challenges that the City of Colorado Springs faces.  We will view historic photos, see the native landscape and what an arid climate looked like in 1874, along with development’s growth and the implications this has on our watershed and the importance of managing stormwater.  Come away with practical ideas you can implement at your home to reduce stormwater pollution.
