Regional Examples + Tour Green Infrastructure and Low-Impact Design for Stormwater Management

SLIDE 2

Principles of GI/LID

Think like a watershed Infiltrate, evapotranspirate and slow down runoff Minimize erosion and sediment transport Treat stormwater close to the source Use pervious areas for stormwater Treatment Water Harvesting within the landscape

Regional Examples

Emerging approach in the southwest
Santa Fe & Albuquerque have a few examples,

with more emerging over time

City and County of Santa Fe are beginning to
