NEMO and Conservation Design,
Low Impact Design, Smart Growth,
and Sustainable Development
|
|
Although there are many technical, and some philosophical
differences between conservation design, low impact design, smart growth and sustainable development
schools of thought,
they are very similar in terms of their underlying “hydrologic” and
water pollution prevention principles. Project NEMO incorporates many of these
principles in its program and has been working with western Lake Superior
communities to implement planning policies to conserve our streams, lakes,
and wetlands and protect Lake Superior.

Project NEMO
(Nonpoint source pollution Education for Municipal Officials)
is a nationally recognized educational program for land use decision
makers that addresses the relationship between land use and natural
resource protection.
The basic NEMO educational presentation – Linking Land Use
to Water Quality – explains the links between land use,
water quality, and community character. Beyond the basics, Northland
NEMO works with the community through additional presentations,
materials, and guidance to help move forward on the two major
aspects of natural resource-based planning: planning for areas
to be preserved, and planning for developed or developing areas.
