Book and Video on Blue-Green Technologies
Blue-Green Technologies: Integrated Practices to Manage Stormwater as an Asset is now available from Great Swamp Watershed Association. The handbook is ideal for professional engineers, land use experts, and landscape architects. It was developed as a companion to the Watershed Association’s most recent video, Doing Water Right: Managing Stormwater with Blue-Green Technology.
Blue-green technologies are environmentally friendly ways to handle stormwater runoff, which is a principal contributor to water pollution, both in the Great Swamp watershed and across the country. The conventional way of dealing with stormwater is to channel it as quickly as possible, via gutters and culverts, to nearby waterways or wetlands. When this method is applied in developed areas, it carries large amounts of chemicals from roads and lawns into local streams.
