Resources for Towns
Managing Stormwater
This comprehensive web portal is intended for use by town, state, and local agencies and other organizations interested in educating their citizens on nonpoint source pollution or stormwater runoff. The Toolbox contains a variety of resources to help develop an effective and targeted outreach campaign.
Protecting Water Resources and Managing Stormwater: A Bird's Eye View provides information about on-the-ground actions for communities to improve stormwater management from landscape to site level scales. Coupled with facilitated discussion, this guide can help communities develop a focus to fit their needs.

The Southeast Watershed Alliance encompasses 42 upstream and downstream communities in the NH Piscataqua Region watershed.
In partnership with the UNH Stormwater Center and the Rockingham Planning Commission, the Southeast Watershed Alliance developed model stormwater standards for communities.
The UNH Stormwater Center is a dynamic research, testing, and educational facility that serves as a technical resource for water managers, planners, and design engineers in New England and throughout the United States.
Their primary functions are twofold: 1) research and development of stormwater treatment systems; and 2) to provide resources to the stormwater management community currently challenged by the effective design and implementation of required stormwater management.
