Dr. Davis is the Director of the Maryland Water Resources Research Center. The Center was established to develop new technology and more efficient methods for resolving local, state and national water resources problems. In addition to supporting research, its mission includes training water scientists and engineers and disseminating information to the public. Comparable centers exist in every state.
Dr. Davis is Associate Editor Chemosphere, Science for Environmental Technology. Chemosphere publishes research on Science and Technology as related to Environmental Problems

Green Engineering Principles Promote Low-Impact Development
How do we accommodate the needs of a growing population yet minimize negative impacts on the environment and local ecology? Low-impact development (LID) integrates environmental concerns with land development, focusing on water and pollutant balances. Also known by other names, such as environmentally sensitive design, LID represents a fundamental change in the way residential, commercial, and institutional properties are developed. Allen P. Davis at the University of Maryland explains the benefits and drawbacks of this concept.
