Our Mission

NC State’s Stormwater Engineering Group is a leader in Green Infrastructure management, education, and research. As an integral part of the Biological & Agricultural Engineering department, the Stormwater team is committed to the three main aspects of a land-grant university:

• Applied Research
• Extension and Engagement
• On and Off-campus Education

Our Expertise

Our team of tenure-track and non-tenure track faculty, graduate students, and Extension specialists brings together decades of experience across multiple specializations. We lead in Low Impact Development (LID) technologies, including bioretention systems, constructed wetlands, bioswales, rainwater harvesting systems, permeable pavement solutions, and regenerative stormwater conveyance. Our expertise extends to ecosystem services assessment, where we quantify the environmental, economic, and social benefits of green infrastructure. We excel in performance monitoring by developing innovative metrics and methodologies to measure success and optimize system performance. Additionally, we support policy and planning initiatives with evidence-based decision-making tools for sustainable stormwater management.
