Green infrastructure represents a new approach to stormwater management that is
cost effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly. Green infrastructure
techniques utilize natural systems, or engineered systems that mimic natural
landscapes to capture, cleanse, and reduce stormwater runoff using plants,
soils and microbes.
On the regional scale, green infrastructure consists of the interconnected
network of open spaces and natural areas including forests, floodplains and
wetlands; that improve water quality while providing recreational opportunities
and wildlife habitat. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site
specific management practices such as rain gardens, porous pavements, and green
roofs that are designed to absorb and infiltrate precipitation where it falls.
Many cities have found Green Infrastructure to be a cost effective strategy for
reducing combined sewer overflows. A growing number of cities are now required
to achieve 15% of their combined sewer overflow reduction using Green
Infrastructure measures.
Our unique multidiscipline team of engineers, landscape architects, ecologists,
and water resource specialists have successfully collaborated on the design of
a wide variety of green infrastructure projects.
