My Capstone is a runoff mapping exercise to be carried out on the Lewis & Clark Undergraduate campus. Using primary field data and GIS maps, I will be critiquing the LC stormwater management system based on the degree to which both natural and anthropogenic runoff retention is used to relieve stress on storm drains, outfalls and surface flowpaths with an eye toward extrapolating my findings to contextualize stormwater management strategies on a city level and the interface between hydrological processes in undeveloped and developed landscapes. A GIS model of Tryon Creek State Park's watershed will provide a secondary frame to view hydrology on both undeveloped hillslopes and impermeable surfaces such as rooves and roads in a residential neighborhood. Troubleshooting methodology is to begin the week of December first, while outcomes for mapping and analysis will be finished in early and mid-Spring, respectively
