Superheroes of Science

There are many variables that play a role in understanding the impacts of water as it relates to the development of different environments. Kayla Cotterman is an Environmental Scientist with the Lochmueller Group who studies the impact to wetlands for groups wanting to develop. Cotterman discusses variables such as water usage, storm water, runoff, and historic rain events. Factors such as these are taken into consideration when advising engineering firms about the construction of buildings, so that they will be able to withstand the environment in which they are being built.
