Analysis of the effectiveness of green infrastructure in urban stormwater management.

Project Abstract

Urban areas face significant challenges in managing stormwater effectively due to increasing impervious surfaces and climate change impacts. Green infrastructure has emerged as a sustainable solution to mitigate stormwater runoff and improve water quality in urban environments. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of green infrastructure in urban stormwater management through a comprehensive review of existing literature, field studies, and data analysis.
