Invisible Infrastructure: How Baffle Boxes Filter Stormwater Before It Reaches the Lagoon
-
Narrated by:

By:
Every time it rains, stormwater carries trash, sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus into the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). But underground sits a growing network of concrete boxes that most Floridians will never notice. Those boxes are silently cleaning stormwater runoff before it arrives in the lagoon.
In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, host Heather Stapleton chats with Dani Straub, Assistant City Engineer for the City of Melbourne, Florida. They cover how a technology invented decades ago evolved into one of the city's most effective stormwater tools.
They also discuss why Melbourne is now home to one of the largest baffle boxes in the world, once parties resolve construction delays.
