Lothar Bestmann, Inventor of Sustainable Waterways Construction Measures, Turns 80
08/27/2010
Mr. Bestmann, a Hydraulic Engineer with a green thumb, is recognized for pioneering the use of synthetic geotextiles on major marine construction applications in the 1960s, as well as his later inventions of numerous methods for addressing construction, habitat, and water quality on waterways, including specialized use of biodegradable materials to aid plant establishment. In addition to holding patents for many innovations such as floating breakwaters, artificial habitat islands, revegetation modules, and nutrient removal systems, Mr. Bestmann provided planning and design consultation globally through his firm until his retirement. Beginning over 20 years ago, he was tapped by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Natural Resources Conservation Service to provide international technology transfer to assist in the adoption of engineering and construction practices compatible with sustainable water and habitat management.   ID: 5529
