Global Leading-Edge Technologies for Implementation of Green Infrastructure

Forward-thinking utilities and urban communities are performing wet weather planning to develop more holistic, comprehensive and sustainable solutions to urban water issues. Wet weather resource management handles urban runoff to minimize the negative impacts of storm drainage and sanitary sewer flows and overflows. Excess stormwater can impact the quality of streams, strain the capacity of sanitary and combined sewer infrastructure, damage property and watersheds, and lead to regulatory non-compliance. Successful management protects public health and stream quality as well as allows the potential for expanded water resources. Integrated stormwater and wastewater planning goes further than traditional management to efficiently manage water that is often considered a nuisance and to capitalize on the potential to create multiple benefits from wet weather management facilities.For utility managers and municipality leaders around the world facing wet weather challenges, there's an answer. To create more sustainable designs, public acceptance, and leverage with the regulatory agencies, affected communities are increasingly turning to green infrastructure and integrated designs.
