Green Stormwater Infrastructure Program
What is Green Stormwater Infrastructure?
What may look like ordinary landscaping along roads or in parking lots is actually carefully-engineered green infrastructure built to capture stormwater, filter out the pollutants, and protect local waterways!
Examples of green infrastructure include tree wells, planted medians and walkways, and permeable pavements. Learn more about the different types of green stormwater infrastructure.
