Who We Are

Takoma Stormwater Solutions promotes proven stormwater management practices that will help our community cope with a rapidly changing climate. Through advocacy, education, and example, we aim to mitigate the risks to health, property, and the natural environment from flooding and stream pollution. We advocate for diverse viewpoints, communities, and solutions. We believe that appropriate and equitable stormwater management is an integral element of a sustainable future.
