Green and Gray Stormwater Infrastructure
- Adobe Illustrator
- Fiona Martin
Cross sections showing differences between green and gray infrastructure, and separate versus combined sewer systems. Green infrastructure such as bioswales or planter boxes absorb stormwater and reduce pollution. Separate sewer systems prevent overflow of wastewater into local waterbodies during extreme precipitation events.
