What is GSI?
Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) can be used to supplement or replace traditional gray stormwater infrastructure for managing the impacts of rain in urban areas.
GSI reduces pollution and treats stormwater by retaining rainfall near its source instead of directing it to a centralized pond or treatment system.
These techniques deliver environmental, social and economic benefits to communities. When communities introduce green stormwater infrastructure, everyone wins.
State Water Quality Assistance Grant (SWAG)
Summary:
Fund GSI construction with the goal to reduce nonpoint source pollution from land use activities.
