The AAAS EPI Center hosted a webinar examining green and nature-based infrastructure solutions for the New England region and compiled resources for planning and implementing green and nature-based infrastructure.
In contrast to the complex network of piping, sewers and other collection systems known as gray stormwater infrastructure, green stormwater infrastructure treats precipitation at its source.
Green infrastructure is a cost-effective, resilient approach to stormwater management that uses natural soils and vegetation to help to prevent flooding and pollution.
