Green Strategies for Controlling Stormwater and Sewer Overflow
This document discusses the growing problem of urban stormwater and combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and promotes green infrastructure as an effective solution. It contains the following key points:
1. Impervious surfaces in urban areas have increased runoff and pollution, threatening water quality. Green infrastructure like trees and permeable pavement intercepts rainfall and reduces runoff at its source.
2. Case studies show green infrastructure can cost-effectively control stormwater and CSOs while providing additional benefits like improved air and water quality. Cities have established programs using techniques like green roofs, rain gardens, swales, and downspout disconnection.
3. Wider adoption of green infrastructure faces obstacles

Some of these benefits include improved individual and community well-being, environmental peacemaking, restarting social and ecological systems, preventing future disasters by developing self-reliance, and restoring a sense of place and social healing. Green spaces also represent opportunities to recognize the value of urban biodiversity in reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience to future challenges.
Conference Transcript - Connected And Sustainable Cities
The document is a summary of a panel discussion on connected and sustainable cities from a conference in San Francisco. One panelist discussed how buildings have a large impact on health, energy usage, and waste generation due to the resources used in their construction and long-term operation. Specifically, 90% of time is spent inside buildings, which use 40% of energy and produce a significant amount of waste over their lifetimes, with operating costs often doubling construction costs within 7-20 years. The panelist argued the focus needs to be on whole lifecycle costs and value of buildings.

DFID provided emergency shelter and helped build resilience to floods in Pakistan from 2011-2013. Over 300,000 people received temporary shelter costing £11 per person. DFID then helped 45,000 families construct more durable flood-resistant homes costing £260 per family. Additional programs promoted livelihoods through kitchen gardens and wheat assistance, helping over 128,000 families avoid debt. Moving forward, DFID planned to work with governments and communities to further develop and validate resilient housing designs incorporating local materials like lime, as well as linked water, sanitation, and livelihoods programs to strengthen long-term resilience to future floods.
Green infrastructure on the fair
Green infrastructure can help reduce stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows in Syracuse. Examples of green infrastructure include green roofs, rain gardens, bioswales, rain barrels, and permeable pavement. Incorporating green infrastructure into Syracuse's existing gray infrastructure for stormwater management can help reduce flooding, improve water quality, and lower costs compared to relying solely on traditional pipe and treatment systems. Case studies from cities like Chicago, Portland, and Toronto demonstrate the multiple benefits of green infrastructure approaches.
Green Infrastructure for Engaging Communities
This document discusses how green infrastructure and low impact development (LID) strategies can help create vibrant communities. LID aims to manage stormwater close to its source through small-scale integrated controls that minimize impervious surfaces and prolong water flow. Conventional drainage has limited effectiveness and urban growth is impacting watershed health. LID techniques like bioswales, porous pavement, green roofs, and rainwater reuse can help reduce runoff volumes while providing water treatment, infiltration, and community benefits like aesthetics, education, and property values. The key is planning LID approaches at the site, neighborhood, and watershed levels.
Social Benefits of Green Spaces
This document summarizes the social, environmental, and economic benefits of green spaces and landscaping. It discusses how plants impact health, crime rates, property values, air and water quality, temperatures, and business activity. Some key benefits mentioned include stress reduction and improved mental well-being from contact with nature, increased social cohesion in communities with more green spaces, reduced energy costs and air pollution from trees providing shade and filtering pollutants, and increased property values and business revenues in areas with attractive landscaping. The document provides references for studies supporting each of the various benefits described.
Future Agenda Future Of Waste
Global waste production is predicted to double over the next 20 years due to increased urbanization and greater waste generation per capita in emerging economies. Developing practical and sustainable solutions to move towards a zero waste society will require simultaneous development of appropriate infrastructure, services, and approaches to facilitate behavior change. It will also require mass production of low-cost sustainable technologies and global cooperation on waste management standards. Taking significant steps by 2020, such as integrated waste management, sustainable technologies, and policies to prevent waste, could help mitigate the growing waste challenge.

Effects of e waste on our environment
"E-waste is not a problem that is going away any time soon. In fact it is only going to get worse. By 2017, the volume of our thrown away e-products throughout the world is expected to rise by 33 percent from 2012, and we can expect the weight of this garbage to equal eight of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The amount of e-waste that we produce, including computers, DVD players, cellphones and global positioning products, could rise by a whopping 500% over the next decade in countries such as India. It is crucial to know the effects of e-waste on the environment, and what we can do to stop it.

Plaingreen2009
Thomas Jefferson believed that each generation should not contract debts greater than what can be paid off during its lifetime. Green buildings on average use 30-50% less energy, produce 35% less carbon emissions, and use 30% less water compared to conventional buildings. A typical family uses nearly a third of its household water outdoors, with more than half evaporating or running off due to overwatering while drip irrigation uses 20-50% less water than conventional sprinklers.
Relationships among socioeconomic affluence, yard management, and biodiversity
Relationships among socioeconomic affluence, yard management, and biodiversityVitor Vieira Vasconcelos
1) The study examined the relationships between socioeconomic factors, yard management practices, and biodiversity in residential yards in Gainesville, Florida.
2) A survey of 102 homeowners found that higher socioeconomic affluence (e.g. larger house size, value, land area) increased natural resource consumption like water and fertilizer use in yards.
3) However, yard biodiversity did not clearly increase with socioeconomic affluence and seemed more related to yard maintenance styles and cultural preferences. Professional yard maintenance was linked to lower reported plant diversity in back yards.
4) Spatial patterns in neighborhoods partially overlapped with socioeconomic patterns and influenced yard biodiversity and management.Pspsb water blues green solutions

Adaptive urban development: protecting the cities' buildings and criticial in...Rutger De Graaf-van Dinther
This presentation elaborates on the strategies and measures that can be applied in cities to become flood resilient. The presentation was initially part of my Inaugural Lecture at Rotterdam University of Applied Science in November 2012, but I removed it due to time restrictions. Next to my work on floating cities I also work on transformation of land based cities into floodproof eco cities. This presentation contains results from teh EU FP7 project FloodProBe en the work we did for waterboards in the Netherlands. Innovations for floodproof ecocities: technology, design and governance
Cities in delta areas are threatened by the impacts of climate change, urbanization and land subsidence. In this presentation, the concept of ‘Flood-proof Ecocity’ has been introduced to cope with the expected challenges and to summarize recent debates about future water cities. In a ‘Flood-proof Ecocity’ urban water systems are used as a source of energy, nutrients and local water supply. There is an important role for citizens as co-producers of the urban space. Citizens will also be involved in local water supply and energy production. Surface water in Flood-proof Ecocities is used for a wide variety of functions including floating buildings and water-based urban transport. The water manager is involved from the beginning of spatial developments. To adapt cities to extreme weather events and flood risk, flood control is integrated with urban development and urban renewal. Next to technical and design elements, this presentation has presented multiple building blocks that are needed for the governance of Flood-proof Ecocities. Important elements include: improving stakeholder receptivity, improving the competitiveness of innovations, creating a commercial markets for innovations, introducing new institutional mechanisms and facilitating new roles for citizens, technical professionals and designers.
