Green Stormwater Infrastructures (GSIs) are functional, sustainable and cost effective.

"Green infrastructure is a cost-effective, resilient approach to managing wet weather impacts that provides many community benefits. While single-purpose gray stormwater infrastructure—conventional piped drainage and water treatment systems—is designed to move urban stormwater away from the built environment, green infrastructure reduces and treats stormwater at its source while delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits." - EPA

Example Learning Objectives:

1. Learn the benefits of green infrastructure: air quality, water quality, stormwater retention and detention, energy saving, aesthetic, health, and more.
2. Discussion of the methods and technologies that can help solve the problems with case studies.
3. Learn the number of ways that green infrastructure can save tax payer's money, some of which are having a price tag of billion dollars and some of which are related to personal level safety.
4. Learn the number of ways that green infrastructure can help increase tax revenue, for example property value increase is directly correlates to property tax increase.
