Gre reen n Inf nfras rastructure: tructure: Wh Why y it it is is im impo portant tant
Green Infrastructure and low impact development allows individuals to actively participate in small ll scale le fl flood d pro rotec ectio tion through a distributed approach to managing water. When water is slowed down, held temporarily, and directed into the soil (infiltrated), it can provide direct benefits on the property. This approach also reduces the amount of stormwater trying to enter into the city’s system of pipes until after the peak ak rains ns have ve passe sed, which reduces the frequency of street flooding during small scale storm events and also improves water quality in Lake Pontchartrain and other surrounding water bodies.

Assessing your property
Begin with a sketch showing a general
- utline of the property, structures and
- ther hard surfaces
Locate points where rainwater is concentrated, such as downspouts and pipes through curbs or walls, and where it runs off hard surfaces.
