As drought continues to be a concern in many parts of the world, it’s easy to forget that other parts combat stormwater runoff regularly. To illustrate, almost a quarter of the continental United States is currently in a drought, while some of the remaining states look to green infrastructure initiatives for help with stormwater. The historical grey infrastructure that consists of gutters, pipes, and tunnels is not a viable one according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The infrastructure is aging, and its large-volume capacity is diminishing.<\/p>\n

Grey vs. Green<\/h2>\n

Green infrastructure provides social and economic benefits. Its aesthetics in regions or neighborhoods have cascading effects. More greenery promotes outdoor recreation which improves public health overall and fosters community building. Measures such as urban tree canopies can boost property values.<\/p>\n

While grey infrastructure directs the flow of collected stormwater, green infrastructures absorb stormwater where it falls. The objectives have shifted from managing the flow and capacity to the impact on water quality and ecosystems. The data generated can be used to choose suitable locations for green infrastructure practices. By visualizing the data, the impact of potential scenarios at various scales can be analyzed.<\/p>\n

What makes an infrastructure green?<\/h2>\n

A green infrastructure has many attributes and benefits. Green roofs reduce runoff volumes, regulate building temperatures, and provide urban wildlife habitats. Permeable pavements cool surface temperatures, also reduce runoff volumes, and improve water quality. Rain gardens or planter boxes support ground water recharge, pollutant removal, and runoff detention. Vegetated swales, or \u201cbioswales\u201d has shown promise in research to lessen peak flows, reduce pollutant loads, and enhance wildlife biodiversity . However, according to the US EPA, the performance of bioswales is sensitive to design. Urban tree canopies can enhance not only habitats, but also property values. They mitigate air pollution, reduce runoff quantity, and reduce energy use.<\/p>\n

There is also an interest in rainwater harvesting and research into it is ongoing for water conservation and stormwater management purposes, as well as the benefits of constructed wetlands.<\/p>\n

Open GeoPlanner\u2019s green infrastructure template<\/h2>\n

This type of pioneering work calls for unique tools. ArcGIS GeoPlanner\u2019s green infrastructure template contains an arsenal that facilitates the planning for green infrastructure.<\/p>\n

GeoPlanner allows you to compare multiple scenarios in one project so you can visualize proposed changes. This can be useful when considering how changes will impact existing green infrastructure, for example, Green Infrastructure Cores. These are minimally disturbed natural areas at least 100 acres in size and greater than 200 meters wide.<\/p>\n

When looking at the map in GeoPlanner\u2019s green infrastructure template, an organization can turn the Green Infrastructure Cores data layer on to note boundaries while working on changes to another layer. For example, say the USA_Parks data layer needs to be expanded but remain within the boundaries of the cores. The green infrastructure template in GeoPlanner contains both layers and by importing USA_Parks polygon to modify it, you can bring it into your scenario layers and make tweaks.<\/p>\n
