<b>Green Stormwater Infrastructure Fundamentals and Design</b><p><b>Discover novel stormwater control measures to make for a greener tomorrow!</b><p>The protection of our aquatic resources is growing in importance as the effects of climate change and continued urbanization are felt throughout the world. While most rain that falls onto vegetated spaces infiltrates the soil, rain that falls onto impervious surfaces will not, increasing downstream flooding and erosion and causing impaired water quality. Impervious surfaces such as road infrastructure, rooftops, and parking areas all increase runoff and mobilize many pollutants that have deposited on these surfaces that are then carried into our waterways. Proper management of this stormwater through green infrastructure is essential to address these challenges and reduce the environmental and ecological impacts brought about by this runoff. <p>This book brings into focus resilient stormwater control measures (SCMs) for the reduction of st
