2. What is Green
Infrastructure?

3. Green Infrastructure (GI) is naturally-occurring vegetation and
soils that mimic natural ecological processes to aid in water
management and create healthier ecosystems.

4. Poor stormwater
management leads to .
● Downstream flooding
● Habitat destruction
● Infrastructure damage
● Combined Sewer Overflows
● Contaminated waterways

5. Good GI leads to .
Lower energy consumption, lower costs
Reduces flooding and infrastructure to near zero
Cleaner waterways

6. Retention vs. Detention
