This course will employ UTK’s watershed group to develop recommendations that will
improve physical, chemical, and biological health of impaired water bodies in the region.
Students should identify best management practices to reduce nonpoint pollution and
improve watershed health across a diverse range of geographic conditions. Staff has
long advocated for improvements in stormwater planning and green infrastructure—this
project will build on these previous and ongoing efforts and help present information in
an accessible and educational matter. The other main focus of this project is for students
to construct the two demonstration projects mentioned above. Staff believes the stream
restoration project and rain garden will excite other communities and result in additional
water
