FROM GHOST STEAMS TO STORMWATER ECOHYDROLOGY AND THE YING-YANG OF DESIGN
Urban Ecology has advanced by incorporating people into ecological theory and research, and urban eco-socio-hydrological approaches offer new opportunities in engineered green infrastructure (GSI) networks. The time is right to co-advance urban aquatic science along with our ability to design nature-based, sustainable landscapes because of the attention and funding related to mandated urban runoff control programs (e.g., TMDLs, MS4, etc.). The well of fundamental ecohydrological process knowledge needed to guide the design of “more natural” GSI is potentially deep, but resides mostly outside the engineering/regulatory communities. Sustained discussion and collaboration between fields like aquatic ecology and environmental engineering is needed to broaden our understanding of a multidisciplinary, multi-objective ecology “of and for” the city. Collaborating ecologists could use GSI systems for urban eco-socio-hydrologic research, and GSI engineers/practitioners could access a rich diversity of ecohydrological knowledge and methods. We discuss ways in which both ecologists and engineers could mutually benefit by adapting ecohydrological processes to the unique connectivity and gray infrastructure of the urban hydrosphere, including the unexplored groundwater/piped systems of the urban watershed continuum.
