Green Stormwater Infrastructure: Does it Work? (1 ISA CEU 1 LACES PDH)

Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) is typically built for multi-purposes: reducing peak runoff volume of stormwater runoff, removing pollutants, and providing the benefits of green space as well as for recreational purposes. Vegetation is used in GSIs to achieve these functions. It is also called Low Impact Developments (LID). By definition and by the term, LID…

Irrigation Salinity: Is Reclaimed Wastewater the Solution to Urban Trees in Arid Area? (1 ISA CEU 1 LACES PDH)

Soil salinization occurs naturally or due to human activities, such as deicing salts during winter storms, irrigation and fertilization. Irrigation salinity often happens in arid or semi-arid region. It is because almost all irrigation water (even natural rainfall, picked up from atmospheric aerosol) contains some dissolved salts. The dissolved salts content can be very high…
