A Community Capacity Assessment of Stormwater Management in the Twin Cities Metro Area

University of Minnesota researchers in collaboration with Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, Capitol Region Watershed District, and Mississippi Watershed Organization investigated community capacity and conservation behaviors associated with stormwater management from the perspectives of diverse community members who live and work in the watersheds. The project applied a participatory, community-based research approach using both qualitative data, gathered through key informant interviews and focus groups, and quantitative data, collected in self-administered surveys.
