This document discusses three green infrastructure projects implemented in an urbanized watershed in New Jersey to improve water quality. Eight green infrastructure devices were installed across the three sites, including porous pavement, planter boxes, rain gardens, and a bioretention basin. The projects relied on partnerships between organizations and addressed challenges of implementing green infrastructure in urban areas with limited space and outdated utility records. The goals were to not only improve water quality but also demonstrate the value of green infrastructure and educate the public on its importance and on stormwater issues more broadly.

The document discusses green infrastructure as both a planning approach and stormwater management approach. As a planning approach, green infrastructure creates an interconnected network of natural areas that provides ecosystem services and benefits. As a stormwater management approach, it refers to systems that mimic natural processes to infiltrate, evapotranspirate, or reuse stormwater on-site. The document then provides examples of specific green infrastructure technologies and their stormwater management benefits, such as rain gardens capturing 30-80% of rainfall and reducing pollutants. Overall, the green infrastructure approach treats stormwater at its source, unlike traditional approaches that focus on rapid removal.

This document discusses how green infrastructure can provide smart, green solutions to water pollution challenges from urban stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows. It defines green infrastructure as systems that use vegetation, soils, and natural processes to manage water and create healthier urban environments, and provides examples such as streetscape planters, permeable pavement, green roofs, and bioretention cells. The document also outlines the multiple non-water benefits of green infrastructure, and reviews how several cities like Philadelphia, Syracuse, Milwaukee and Portland are implementing large-scale green infrastructure plans to improve water quality and achieve co-benefits. It argues that EPA regulatory changes are needed to advance these solutions more broadly.
Presentatie blue21 climate pre party november 2015
This document discusses a perspective for human and ecological development in the 21st century through floating cities and urban water-based development. It summarizes research on using floating structures for food production, housing, infrastructure, and other urban functions to accommodate future population growth without using additional land area. Floating cities could be a climate change adaptation and mitigation strategy. Several pilot projects in the Netherlands demonstrate the building blocks and implementation process for floating urban development. Further research is still needed but the technology exists to pursue faster implementation. Governance will be crucial for transitioning to floating cities as part of a wider societal change.
Social Sustainability In Cities
The document discusses characteristics of sustainable cities and social sustainability factors. It provides examples of how certain initiatives could make urban living more sustainable, such as increasing public transportation, recycling programs, and renewable energy sources. Local community involvement is important to help ensure sustainability initiatives are successful.
Blue Tech and the Blue Commons
The role of water in society and the world economy is significant and it keeps growing. The days when we could assume adequate and continuous supply throughout our lives are gone. Sea Level Rise and climate change have introduced an entire new subspecialty within the worlds of design and construction. This month I had the opportunity to present a vision for Blue Tech and the the Blue Economy that I believe could be economically viable as well as rooted in the human values of fishable and swimmable water. Thanks Dirk van Peijpe, Gabrielle Muris, Gita Nandan and others for being part of my inspiration these past months. Looking forward!

Sustainable development aims to meet human needs while preserving natural systems for future generations by using resources sustainably without compromising the environment. Water resources management is one of the most important challenges faced and sustainable management of watersheds, rainwater harvesting, water conservation, and water recycling can help ensure sustainable water supplies. Recycling water provides environmental benefits by decreasing water extraction from sources and reducing pollution.

The Narmada Bachao Andolan was a social movement opposed to large dams being built on the Narmada River in India, including the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat. Led by activists Medha Patkar and Baba Amte, NBA organized protests like hunger strikes and a march to raise awareness about the environmental and social impacts of displacement. While the Supreme Court initially stopped dam construction, it later ruled in favor of the project subject to rehabilitation conditions. However, the movement successfully increased scrutiny of resettlement plans and environmental compliance for large dam projects in India.

Marketing tsunami
The document discusses the major changes occurring in marketing due to empowered consumers and new technologies. It refers to this change as the "Marketing Tsunami". Key points of change include frugal consumers, consumers trusting each other over advertisers via social media, and expecting more from brands. While some brands see social media as the answer, it really requires addressing underlying product/service issues first. Overall, it means marketing must collaborate more with customers in new ways and meet higher expectations during a time of budget constraints.

Green infrastructure is an interconnected network of open spaces and natural areas that manages stormwater runoff. In cities, it can be extended through features like rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable pavement. Several cities have implemented green infrastructure pilot projects and regulations to improve water quality, reduce flooding risks, and provide other community benefits. Common elements of successful green infrastructure programs include integrating practices into public and private spaces, transportation plans, and engaging residents.
CIWEM_UDG_Nov2015_fullpaper_ELawson
This document summarizes a paper presented at the UDG Autumn Conference & Exhibition evaluating the multiple benefits of a Blue-Green approach to urban surface water management. It discusses the development of a Blue-Green Vision for Newcastle, UK through a Learning and Action Alliance involving stakeholders. A hypothetical future scenario was modeled where all pavements and back-alleyways had permeable paving and gardens were greenspace. Modeling showed this Blue-Green infrastructure provided temporary storage and helped alleviate pressure on subsurface drainage systems during heavy rainfall.
Construction And The Built Environment
The document discusses the challenges of achieving Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6 certification for new home construction in the UK. Level 6 is the highest level under the code and requires obtaining the maximum number of credits across nine categories related to energy/CO2 emissions, water, materials, surface water runoff, waste, pollution, health and well-being, management, and ecology. While some local planning departments may require Level 6, achieving it would be difficult and costly. Homes would need to be nearly zero-energy, have highly efficient fittings and appliances, minimize waste and promote ecology/biodiversity on site.

2014: Designing Dredge - Reconsidering the Toledo Riverfront
The North Coast Design Competition is soliciting proposals to reimagine five sites along the Toledo, Ohio riverfront totaling over 170 acres that are either undergoing construction for stormwater infrastructure or were former dredge storage facilities. Entrants are asked to consider how to incorporate dredged sediment from maintenance of shipping channels in a way that enhances public spaces and embraces realities of dredging operations. The competition seeks to transform the riverfront and find new uses for dredged materials that minimize open lake disposal and address stormwater management needs in the city. A required element is a dredge research site to study uses of dredged sediments. Winning entries will receive prize money and help guide redevelopment of the important riverfront lands.
SolutionProposal
Civil engineers can play a bigger role in sustainability by designing infrastructure to have less environmental impact and be more eco-friendly. This includes using photocatalytic cement that reduces air pollution and green roofs that filter air and water. Engineers should also incorporate more recycling of materials like concrete into new projects to reduce waste and energy usage from mining new resources. Educating the public on sustainability issues is also important to continue progress on protecting the environment.

- 1. DEMONSTRATING THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN AN URBANIZED AREA ALEXANDER W. PELOSI Introduction Issues A major source of eutrophication for Northern Barnegat Bay are the watersheds of Lower Toms River and Long Swamp Creek. Moderate-to-high residential and commercial densities has resulted in polluted stormwater, containing high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorous, pathogens and sediment. Due to these inputs, Northern Barnegat Bay, Lower Toms River and Long Swamp Creek have been listed as 303D impaired waters by NJDEP. The ALS and Princeton Hydro sought to implement measures that reduced the rate, volume and pollutant load conveyed by runoff entering the estuary and its tributaries. Princeton Hydro worked with ALS to identify and prioritize sites throughout the watershed. Three sites were identified and the projects were funded through NJDEP’s 319(h) implementation grant program and two of the three have since gone to construction with the third to begin later this year. Green Infrastructure As 319(h) Grant projects, the goal of all three sites was to improve water quality. Over the three projects a total of 8 separate Green Infrastructure devices were installed, which included two Vortech manufactured treatment devices, porous pavement, planter boxes, two rain gardens, a Contech Filterra tree box, and the conversion of an existing detention basin into a bioretention basin (construction this fall). Partnerships and Stakeholders These projects relied on partnerships and assistance from the American Littoral Society, Ocean County, the Ocean County Soil Conservation District, and the Jasques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve, as well as the Toms River Regional School District. Both projects exemplify the value of leveraging public/private partnerships to create demonstration projects, and the effective management of stormwater through creative retrofit projects. Discussion How to make green infrastructure more viable in urbanized areas. How to educate people more on the importance of such devices and overall how to educate people on the importance of stormwater as a whole as it can play into a much larger ecological systems than what people see on the surface. Education Urbanized areas contain the highest amounts of impervious area and pollutant loading. These are the locations that would benefit the most from Green Infrastructure, but are also the most difficult do to lack of space and poor record keeping. Green Infrastructure has been adapted over time to fit into areas so that they do not take away from parking, landscapes, or other locations they frequently inhabit; making the largest challenge locating the existing utilities and wiring in the ground. Modern record keeping for design has gotten better but is still far from perfect, and not even the New Jersey One call is able to accurately identify every single utility that maybe on the premises. When implementing Green Infrastructure projects it is imperative to understand the disconnect that can occur between design and implementation and that the site you design for may not necessarily be the same site that is dug up. Design must also be flexible to handle these and other issues that are bound to show up. In the original design for the planter boxes, the boxes were 13’ x 30’, but ultimately needed to be cut down to 19’ in length and pushed back off the pavement by a 1 foot gap to avoid high voltage electric lines that were unearthed during the excavation. This issue caused similar design alterations throughout these projects, which is why they can serve as an important example of how to adapt the design in the field without losing the functionality of the The location of these projects were chosen in a way that would maximize public outreach by showcasing all the BMP’s in public areas. Stormwater education is extremely important as it can be easily overlooked as an issue that currently puts strain on our streams, lakes, rivers, and infrastructure. In line with the old ways of seeing stormwater, people typically just want to the water conveyed downstream as quickly as possible. This “Out of sight, out of mind” mentality can have dire economic and ecological impacts from stream erosion to pipe failures. These projects double as demonstration projects to showcase various upstream options to these current problems. The rain gardens were planted with the help of volunteers and every device installed was given an educational sign. These tools can be invaluable in bringing light to a problem that most people do not see as a problem. These devices can serve as constant reminders that stormwater is an issue.
