On March 14, 2025, Brightstorm’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Matt Rea, was one of four experts to present during webinar hosted by the Florida Stormwater Association. The following is a brief description of the presentation, titled AI in Action for Stormwater Management:

“New Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems have the potential to enhance stormwater management. These systems can automate routine tasks, streamline data management, assist in design calculations, optimize stormwater controls, and improve communication and collaboration. The presentation explored the practical applications of AI in daily activities such as communication, technical writing, and data analysis. The presentation also examined how AI can improve our current stormwater management systems’ resilience and water quality performance through a combination of real-time controls and advanced machine learning algorithms. The webinar was brought to FSA members free of charge thanks to the sponsorship of Applied Sciences.”
