Case Study: City of Salinas Achieves Smarter Stormwater Management with 2NDNATURE Software

City of Salinas - Customer Case Study

The City of Salinas, CA, faced a stormwater program that was fragmented across departments, reliant on spreadsheets and paper files, and costly to report on—requiring over 1,000 staff hours for its annual report while producing limited insight into program effectiveness. With permit requirements coming due and a need to improve compliance and tracking, the city turned to 2NDNATURE Software and its 2Nform platform.

2NDNATURE Software implemented 2Nform to centralize data collection, automate analysis, and streamline sharing and compliance reporting across the city’s MS4 stormwater program. The solution replaced manual field sheets and disconnected records with mobile apps, cloud-based data management, and automated analytics, helping Salinas improve decision-making, collaborate across departments, and produce compliance-ready annual reports. The city also reported cost savings exceeding 2x across program elements, along with better communication, a more collaborative relationship with regulators, and a more effective stormwater program overall.
