University Campuses Leading the Way in Green Stormwater Management Plans
The article discusses how universities can improve stormwater management to meet environmental goals and save money. By creating comprehensive stormwater management plans, universities can use green infrastructure to reduce water pollution and flooding. The University of Pennsylvania is working on such a plan, inspired by successful examples like Georgia Tech's Eco-Commons corridor and Villanova's BMP research park. These plans involve assessing current infrastructure, implementing best practices, educating the community, and maintaining green technologies. By following these models, universities can become leaders in sustainable stormwater management.
