It Is Not Easy Being Green: Recognizing Unintended Consequences of Green Stormwater Infrastructure

It Is Not Easy Being Green: Recognizing Unintended Consequences of Green Stormwater Infrastructure

Green infrastructure designed to address urban drainage and water quality issues is often deployed without full knowledge of potential unintended social, ecological, and human health consequences. Though understood in their respective fields of study, these diverse impacts are seldom discussed toget...
