Green Infrastructure isn’t just about nature - it’s smart city-making! It filters pollutants improving water quality, absorbs rain to reduce flood risks, complements gray infrastructure, and revitalizes neighborhoods, fueling economic growth. #stormwater #innovation still needed

Great information about a new water supply reservoir designed for Henrico County by @Arcadis_NA. Proud to be an Arcadian!

[Virginia DCR @VirginiaDCR]

The Cobbs Creek Reservoir Dam hit a milestone this month. Now operated by @HenricoNews, it's designed to meet the County's water needs for the next 50 years. 🚰 Our Regional Safety Engineer Justin Deel explains this extraordinary project in DCR's Insights: https://t.co/osZ1MKU3Z2

#stormwater #bioswales help cities reduce pollution and can also play a role in enhancing resilience - green infrastructure can help us manage larger storms by changing the design approaches and integrating gray infrastructure - let us know if you want to talk!

[LA Sanitation & Environment ♻️💧🌳 @LACitySAN]

Ever noticed those green ditches along the #sidewalks in #LA? They’re called #bioswales! They help collect and filter rainwater, letting it soak into the ground naturally. 🌧️🌱
