Green Stormwater Infrastructure

This guide outlines a watershed-based approach process to assessing the costs and benefits of green infrastructure to reduce flooding. It presents six steps including defining the flooding problem, assessing flooding scenarios, applying green infrastructure solutions, reassessment, estimating benefits and costs, and identifying and communicating the green infrastructure strategy. The guide describes the results from three pilot studies and a community workshop and provides case studies from these throughout.
