Nature Based Solutions for Stormwater Management and Sea Level Rise

Abstract

Abstract

Nature-based solutions, including green rainwater infrastructure, can help with climate resiliency, stormwater management, habitat improvement, and neighborhood revitalization that can improve equity. This talk will review what nature-based solutions are, their benefits, and the problems they solve. Nature-based solutions offer multi-benefit solutions for communities and the environment and focus on utilizing natural systems as infrastructure. While many nature-based solutions exist, this talk will focus on stormwater management (green rainwater infrastructure) and sea level rise resiliency (horizontal/ecotone levees and shoreline restoration).
