Check valves protect Florida freshwater ecosystems

摘要

Concern for nature and the environment has always been foremost in the community design of more than 1,000 single-family homes. Building and infrastructure in coastal areas with natural elevations that range a mere 1 to 2 meters above sea level, however, possess challenges for stormwater management systems using ponds and wetlands; Marsh Landing is no exception.
