Green Stormwater Infrastructure

This article outlines evaluation guidelines for six green infrastructure tactics and assesses their performance in terms of runoff pollution removal, ground water recharge, and biological uptake. It examines bioretention areas, grassed swales/filter strips, infiltration trenches, porous pavement, rain barrels, and wet detention ponds. The article also includes a performance comparison table, decision flow chart, and cost assessment sheet.
