#Stormwater collects pollution when moving over hard surfaces (roofs, sidewalks) & can impact local #waterquality. Mitigating stormwater pollution has two options - hard #greyinfrastructure (pipes + tanks), or #greeninfastructure which uses natural systems (soils, plants).

#greeninfastructure, which uses natural systems to filter, hold + slowly release stormwater using soil and plants also bring additional greening to communities, and can improve air + water quality, as well as local habitat.
