Caption: Following a torrential rainstorm on June 8, 2008, David S. Liebl, chair of the Arboretum stormwater committee, shows urban stormwater runoff coming from Manitou Way in Madison's Nakoma neighborhood. The runoff gushes into a small creek leading through the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum's Viburnum Garden to Lake Wingra. In cooperation with the cities of Madison and Fitchburg, the town of Madison and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT), the Arboretum is starting to build a new set of stormwater management facilities - including a wet detention pond designed to slow stormwater flow and let sediments settle - to help control the impact. Liebl has appointments in the UW-Madison College of Engineering and UW-Extension.
