Re-Imagining Parks and Open Spaces as Landscape Scale Green Infrastructure
Registration is required
Registration cancellations will be accepted
In almost every case, it is easier and cheaper to manage stormwater at the source than it is to collect and treat it after the fact. City stormwater managers are dealing with the fact that stormwater management requires significant effort and resources. More emphasis on source control has the potential to improve system reliability, reduce costs, reduce liabilities, as well as improve water quality. This presentation will cover managing stormwater control at the source and will provide examples of source control using stream, wetland, floodplain restoration, and green infrastructure. Project case studies will be used to display creative adaptation of parks and public spaces to accommodate different forms of
green infrastructure.
