Oklahoma Low Impact Development
low impact development Oklahoma Stormwater
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma
Low Impact Development (LID) is a new, comprehensive land planning and engineering design approach with a goal of maintaining and enhancing the pre-development hydrologic regime of urban 
and developed watersheds. The Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service has a goal of providing information and design aids related to low impact development that will make an impact on stormwater management in Oklahoma. This website is continually evolving, so feel free to email Jason Vogel, Stormwater Specialist in the Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Department, with your comments or suggestions. Thanks!
Composting and Rainwater Harvesting workshops in western oklahoma
Oklahoma State University, in conjunction with the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, Langston University, Anichini-Moore Ranch, Trail Creek Ranch and Southern Risk Management Education Center, is holding four workshops in western Oklahoma this spring to help farmers, ranchers, and other interested individuals better understand how composting and rainwater harvesting can help them minimize risks. The workshops will be in Taloga, Okeene, Woodward, and Clinton between April and June. The workshops are expected to last until approximately 4:30 or 5:00.
The workshops will include presentations on composting and rainwater harvesting. Participants will also have the opportunity to develop rainwater harvesting and/or composting implementation plans for risk management in their operation. In the afternoon participants will visit two demonstration sites to see what they have learned about in action.
