About the Workshop

Real-time control (RTC) is an emerging technology that allows stormwater ponds, rainwater harvesting systems, and other stormwater control measures to respond dynamically to rainfall events using sensors and automated controls. But what is RTC, why do we need it, and what does it actually look like in the field?

NC State University's Stormwater Engineering Group will walk attendees through the why and how of RTC, including their open-source system StormPack RTC for stormwater ponds, simple methods for RTC rainwater harvesting, and real-world case studies from Convergent and Opti.

The workshop will end with a tour of two RTC installation sites. Whether you design, review, or maintain SCMs, this is a great chance to see new smart stormwater technology in action.
