Who We Are

The Stormwater Equipment Manufacturers Association supports the regulatory and engineering communities as well as the individual cities and states in implementing the Clean Water Act. Association members recognize that as cities, counties and states around the country must develop stormwater initiatives, they have few resources to turn to for guidance and help. This, coupled with tight budgets, limited research staff to find the best solutions for controlling stormwater, and unique regional challenges, creates a monumental task. The Stormwater Equipment Manufacturers Association provides a single source to turn to for direction in the development of their standards and regulations.
