Sustainability analysis of distributed, green stormwater infrastructure
… grow in population and density of development, stormwater management has become a higher priority for municipal leaders, civil engineers, and residents. Traditional gray infrastructure, i.e., large, piped conveyance networks, effectively removed stormwater runoff and all its associated problems …

Evaluation of Green Stormwater Infrastructure Monitoring Protocols
… landscapes, also referred to as urbanization, stormwater management has evolved in an effort to address and counteract impairment of waterways in the United States by extensively implementing best management practices (BMPs) or Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI). Facilities are installed …

Green stormwater infrastructure, preference, and human well-being
Recently, cities across the world implemented Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI), a strategy that uses vegetation to manage stormwater. While evidence suggests that GSI provides ecological benefits to the urban environment, we know little about how GSI impacts human health and well-being. We …

Understanding perceptions and adoption of green stormwater infrastructure
… officials' perceptions of key attributes of green infrastructure influence their attitudes toward adoption. In addition, this dissertation provide useful insights into the relationship between the diversity of green infrastructure tools that local jurisdictions across the US support with …

Green stormwater infrastructure, complete streets, and interagency collaboration in San Francisco
In many US cities, the implementation of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in the right-of-way remains problematic. On one hand, many cities' policies are espousing the Complete Streets model, an approach whereby streets should serve multiple users and purposes and combine different design …

The role of reliability in characterizing green stormwater infrastructure in urban areas
… forefront of modern sustainability challenges. Green infrastructure— the use of nature-based solutions to target, treat, and store stormwater at its source— has emerged as a possible solution. While green infrastructure does offer multiple benefits for urban users, its performance is also highly …

Identifying Key Factors for the Implementation and Maintenance of Green Stormwater Infrastructure
… items based on relevant studies and state stormwater manuals. Fairfax County, VA was used as a case study to evaluate the County's current stormwater program and illuminate common maintenance issues found for each GSI type. Data analysis of 3141 inspection records illustrated particular …

Characterization of co-benefits of green stormwater infrastructure across ecohydrologic regions in the United States
Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) systems such as rain gardens, permeable pavement and bioswales are commonly used in municipalities to reduce urban flooding and water pollution. In conjunction with these direct benefits, GSI systems provide additional social and ecological "co-benefits". Our …

Designing green stormwater infrastructure for hydrologic and human benefits: an image based machine learning approach
… attention to catchment-wide implementation of green infrastructure (e.g., decentralized green storm water management practices such as bioswales, rain gardens, permeable pavements, tree box filters, cisterns, urban wetlands, urban forests, stream buffers, and green roofs) to replace or …

Guiding green stormwater infrastructure planning through socio-ecological vulnerability: An integrated and spatially scalable prioritization framework
"Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI; e.g., rain gardens, bioswales, green roofs) is widely used as a climate change mitigation strategy for its potential to reduce stormwater management problems (e.g., poor water quality, increased streamflow velocities, and flood risk due to impervious …

Environmental Psychology and Urban Green Space: Supporting Place-Based Conservation in Philadelphia, PA
Green space and stormwater infrastructure are of valued importance within the City of Philadelphia, but little research exists on understanding the unique contribution that green spaces can make in developing environmentally-conscious citizens. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, this project aims …

Re-Think the Streets: An Evaluation of Green Street Practices as a Method to Achieve Combined Sewer Separation
… States have been grappling with how to mitigate stormwater for decades. The ongoing trend of land development coupled with the heightened frequency and intensity of storm events has necessitated costly infrastructure improvements that are short-sighted and fail to address the underlying cause of …

Computer-based decision-support methods for hydrological ecosystem services management
… climates, human population growth, and aging infrastructure threaten the availability and quality of one of life's most vital resources, water. Hydrological ecosystem services are goods and benefits derived from freshwater that include flood damage mitigation, water for agricultural and …

Designing Smarter Stormwater Systems at Multiple Scales with Transit Time Distribution Theory and Real-Time Control
Urban stormwater runoff is both an environmental threat and a valuable water resource. This dissertation explores the use of two stormwater management strategies, namely green stormwater infrastructure and stormwater real-time control (RTC), for capturing and treating urban stormwater runoff. …

Sustainable cities and institutional change : the transformation of urban stormwater management
… advocates in the United States have touted green stormwater infrastructure (GSI)- a decentralized network of rainwater capture and infiltration systems-as a more sustainable and less costly alternative to building more and bigger underground pipes to control polluted urban runoff and sewer …

Balancing the Water Budget: the effect of plant functional type on infiltration to harvest ratios in stormwater bioretention cells
Stormwater bioretention cells (BRCs) are a variety of green stormwater infrastructure with the potential to restore pre-urban water balance, provided they can be tailored to infiltrate and evapotranspire (i.e., harvest) urban runoff in proportions consistent with pre-urban hydrologic conditions. …

Preference Construction and Decision-Making for Green Infrastructure: How Do Behavioral Interventions Influence Choice and Neurocognition?
"Nature-based solutions", such as green stormwater infrastructure, take advantage of natural systems to tackle the increasing challenges facing the built environment. Green infrastructure is effective in reducing stormwater runoff for urban stormwater management using connected green space. Green …
