Green Infrastructure Webcast....

Bioswale at the South Waterfront, Portland, OR

Our office recently viewed a great webcast put on by the EPA that provides good background info on green infrastructure and stormwater. The first half is by Steve Wise at the Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago. Tons of links and info in his section. The second part is a look at the future Long Range plan in Philadelphia and their goals for green infrastructure and stormwater.

Also, if you're looking for CEUs, you can get a certificate at the end of the presentation.

Belgard AquaBric Demonstration

We received this video link earlier in the week from one of our local reps showing the intense rate of infiltration pervious pavers can accommodate. The area was flooded at a rate of 530 gallons per minute and only stretched over a 150 sf area. The video does more than I can say, be sure to pass it along to your local Public Works departments (the guys who really need to see it!).
