   abstract: Over the last 20 years, Judy Horwatich aided local, state, and federal
     agencies determine the effects that rural and urban runoff has on the environment.
     Her early career concentrated on agricultural runoff to determine the effectiveness
     of best management practices on reducing sediment and nutrients to the streams.
     Her work now focuses measuring the quantity and quality of nonpoint source runoff
     in urban environments. Judy has assembled 30 years of local, state, and national
     urban runoff studies and incorporated them into the Source Loading and Management
     Model (SLAMM). She continues calibrate and verify this model concentrating on
     Wisconsin parameters. This effort allows Public and private engineers to use
     WinSLAMM to determine realistic pollution reduction credits for their area of
     concern. Her recent body of work includes evaluation of several proprietary
     and non-proprietary stormwater management practices that include hydrodynamic
     separators, stormwater filters, high-efficiency street cleaners, rain gardens,
     biofiltration cells and swales, grass swales, and filter strips.CURRENT PROJECTSLong-term
