through green infrastructure (GI), sustainable development and better site design. This webinar will focus on a regional approach by the
<i>Resilient Taunton Watershed Network</i> <i>(RTWN)</i> in the Taunton River watershed in SE Massachusetts that brought together numerous partners and communities to learn how to effectively use GI and LID techniques to manage stormwater, reduce flooding,
and minimize drought impacts. The presenters will address their work in the Taunton watershed which included: using GIS at a regional level to identify priority areas for GI siting, and a localized web-based tool to promote sustainable development through
smart bylaws and regulations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
