From Runoff to Resilience: Rethinking Stormwater with Green Infrastructure

Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) refers to systems and practices that mimic natural processes to manage stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and enhance community resilience. These projects encompass a variety of techniques such as rain gardens, vegetated swales, green roofs, and permeable pavers designed to manage stormwater in a sustainable manner. Unlike traditional gray infrastructure, which relies on concrete channels and pipes to quickly divert water away, GSI aims to capture, absorb, and filter rainwater where it falls.

This approach can help to reduce flooding, improve water quality, mitigate urban heat islands, enhance biodiversity, restore natural hydrology in urban environments, enhance tourism and recreational opportunities, increase property values, create jobs, and improve human health and well-being. Lys Gant (Save the Sound), and Charles Soucy (CRC) present in this LiveStream on projects throughout the Connecticut River watershed.
