This $149,964 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will analyze the long-term ecological, hydrological, and social performance of residential rain gardens over 10 years old in the Washington, D.C. area. The project will first review visual inspection reports to assess the ecological success of these green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) practices. It will then survey residents to evaluate the social success, maintenance behaviors, and factors influencing residents' willingness to maintain the rain gardens. Hydrologic modeling will also be conducted to assess the continued performance of the aging rain gardens. Lastly, the project will use survey responses and public data to model residents' decision-making around maintenance and identify where successful long-term GSI practices are likely to occur. The goal is to provide insights to stormwater managers on how site design and maintenance behaviors interact to sustain the benefits of aging GSI over time. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
