Brainstorming New Ideas For Improved Stormwater Infrastructure
Planning how to address environment-impacting, water-infrastructure challenges — reducing stormwater runoff pollution, reducing sewer overflows, and protecting rivers and streams that serve as drinking water supplies for downstream towns — can be an intimidating task. A recent report from the Environment America Research & Policy Center cites many examples that can serve as beacons for municipalities large and small.
Learning From The Experience Of Others
For decision-makers confronted by stormwater, combined sewer systems, aging wastewater infrastructure, and other environmental challenges,
A Path To Cleaner Water identifies more than 20 idea-generating projects. It also includes more than 120 unique URL links to supporting information to enable interested parties to learn about them in greater detail. The combined coverage shares a wealth of insights to projects large and small — from small, stormwater solutions to multifaceted, billion-dollar projects that were a decade or more in the making. Examples include both gray and green infrastructure projects — many of them financed by combinations of local, state, and federal funding including Clean Water State Revolving Funds and Clean Water Act Section 319(h) funds.
