About this event
So you installed some green infrastructure (yay!) - but now what?
Green infrastructure is an approach to managing urban wet weather impacts that mimics, restores, or maintains natural hydrology. Green infrastructure includes a wide array of practices, including infiltrating, evapotranspiring, or harvesting and using stormwater. Examples of green infrastructure include:
- Vegetated filter strips at the edges of paved surfaces
- Residential or commercial rain gardens designed to capture and soak in stormwater
- Porous pavers, porous concrete, and porous asphalt
- Rain barrels and cisterns
- Green roofs
