The Southwestern PA Commission's Water Resource Center has scheduled two webinars in February and March on green infrastructure and floodplain & stormwater management from Noon to 1:00 p.m.--

-- February 25: Green Infrastructure Lessons Learned: Green Infrastructure (GI) is being implemented with greater and greater frequency throughout the country in order to meet water quality goals, enhance our communities, improve climate change resiliency, and even reduce costs.

In this presentation, experienced GI designers from Jacobs Engineering will discuss practical and easily incorporated lessons learned from implementing literally hundreds of GI projects in parks, roads, schools, parking lots, and other settings in communities such as the City of Lancaster, PA, and Syracuse, NY.

Specifically, the presentation will cover a wide range of insights, including but not limited to the following: planning and design considerations that improve GI project cost-effectiveness, performance, appearance, and maintenance needs; commonly asked questions; integrating GI with other capital improvements; and GI resources.

-- March 23: GIS and Hydrologic/Hydraulic Modeling for Integrated Floodplain & Stormwater Management: Learn about how a community overcame significant drainage/flooding problems that were causing economic damage and disruptions to transportation while meeting NPDES requirements.

During this webinar, you will learn how various types of data and models were used to develop multi-beneficial, real-world solutions. For a full workshop description.
