Green Roofs as a Stormwater Management Tool

The intern will undertake a project which analyses several drainage structures of an experimental green roof while developing a numerical model to mimic the experimentally obtained results. In addition, the intern will also be involved in working on an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan, and low impact development methods. The partner organization will benefit by having a more effective green roof drainage design developed as well as a numerical model created to simulate the design changes.
