Building a Resilient Houston Through Sustainable Water Management
Welcome to the Houston Land/Water Sustainability Forum (HLWSF). For nearly two decades, we have partnered with local stakeholders, civil engineers, and developers to champion Low Impact Development (LID) and green stormwater infrastructure.
Our mission is to prove that sustainable site development is not only environmentally critical for the Houston-Galveston region but also economically viable.
Traditional drainage systems are no longer sufficient to handle the unique flood mitigation challenges of the Texas Gulf Coast. We provide the educational programming and technical resources needed to transition our region toward resilient, nature-based solutions.
Reduce Runoff
Integrate LID practices into commercial and residential development to significantly reduce runoff volume.
Protect Watersheds
Filter nonpoint source pollution and strengthen Houston’s local watershed systems..
Technical Resources
Access modeling tools and research to support sustainable stormwater management.
For Professionals & Developers
Whether you are navigating new county regulations, designing a commercial site, or integrating sustainable practices into your next civic project, HLWSF serves as your collaborative network.
We work closely with the Houston Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to ensure our technical standards remain cutting-edge.
Engineering & Design
Access technical articles covering the functional goals of green infrastructure and local soil considerations.
Economic Viability
Review historical data and competition results demonstrating the cost-saving benefits of sustainable site development.
Get Involved
Join our professional committees and help shape the future of Houston’s water management policies.
