Welcome to the Aqua Cura weblog
I formed Aqua Cura in 2002, after a 25-year career in what I call "big engineering" to practice in sustainable water management. Managing stormwater in a manner that will have minimal impact on the environment is an important element of this practice area. As I worked with certain development teams, I began to see that they incorporated green building practices into their projects, so I looked into the green movement and found that it fits very well with my water management practice.
I also found that green building professionals are the most collaborative people I have met in my career. In big engineering, sharing ideas and knowledge is not done; it is deemed to place your firm at a competitive disadvantage. It is a refreshing change (one of the reasons I left big engineering was the lack of collaboration, even within the firm I worked for).
I have set up this weblog to invite collaboration and to offer a place to make business relationships. For instance, there are a lot of small design professionals, builders, and equipment reps working in green building. As small firms, we don't have a lot of budget to mount marketing campaigns or to hire business development specialists. I welcome these firms to use this weblog to contact and team on projects.
So feel free to offer your views or to solicit participants in projects.
