Managing Wet Weather with Green Infrastructure Action Strategy

Protection of water quality is of vital importance in American communities. One way to protect America's water supplies is to use green infrastructure techniques. These techniques reduce or eliminate the amount of pollutants that runoff from a particular location, discharging into nearby bodies of water. This paper discusses green infrastructure techniques that can be used to protect the quality of water.
