RFP - Growing Water รณ Improving the Ability of the Great Lakes Basin to Support Future Water Needs |
The team will identify the likely hydrological benefits of wetland restoration, storm water retention, and various agricultural and residential best management practices and then couple the hydrologic benefits to expected improvements in ecological condition. Standards for various types and magnitudes of ecological improvements will be developed and a mechanism to "register" improvements will be created. Last, the team expects to identify the legal, financial and insurance mechanisms required to support trading or sales of improvement "credits." The team proposes to work in the Menomonee River watershed near Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the Rouge River watershed in Southeast Michigan. |
Notes: This grant is part of a group of related grants awarded in response to an RFP issued by GLPF. |
