Course Outline
Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) is a suite of "systems and practices that restore and maintain natural hydrologic processes in order to reduce the volume and water quality impacts of stormwater runoff." In this course, you will learn how to move from 'gray infrastructure' to 'green infrastructure' through infiltration, evapotranspiration, storage, and reuse. In addition, you will learn how cities such as New York and Seattle promote their green stormwater infrastructure programs.
At the end of this course, there will be a multiple-choice, open-book quiz designed to enhance your understanding of the course material.
