; the areas in the watershed toprioritize; the best management practices (BMPs) and structural best management practices, such asinstalling green infrastructure or diverting swales or catch basin inserts, which then assist in mitigatingpollution. Higher education faculty and water district engineers will offer presentations detailing the trade-offs between infrastructure/design options, and engineering decisions based on a systematicconsideration of multiple, often competing, criteria.
