Abstract
Grand Valley State University has an ongoing monitoring program to measure the quality and quantity of water from parking lot runoff into storm-sewers which eventually ends up in Little Mac Ravine and the Grand River Watershed. This research will discuss the design and implementation of the monitoring methods to include current storm flow and expected results after construction and diversion to retention ponds with regard to volume of water.
