Impact/Purpose:
Proving an overview of the tools included in EPA's Green Infrastructure Modeling toolkit through the River Network: https://www.rivernetwork.org/events/epas-gi-toolkit/. This webinar will be geared towards an audience of citizen-based organizations and community-level planning groups/agencies. The webinar will allow EPA researchers to enable more potential users to learn about and use tools included in the GI Modeling toolkit.
Description:
Researchers in EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) have been studying green infrastructure practices and developing models and tools to help communities manage their stormwater runoff and address nutrient impairment. This webinar will present a toolkit consisting of five EPA green infrastructure models and tools, along with communication material, that can be used as a teaching tool and as a quick reference resource for use by planners and developers when making green infrastructure implementation decisions, and can also be used for low impact development design competitions. The models and tools included in the toolkit will be presented during this webinar.
