Managing Heavy Rainfall with Green Infrastructure : An Evaluation in Pittsburgh's Negley Run Watershed Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Urban stormwater management is a growing challenge in many U.S. cities, and climate change is expected to add to this challenge.

RAND researchers apply simulation modeling and economic valuation to estimate the potential benefits and costs of a green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) system in Pittsburgh's Negley Run watershed.

The authors evaluate a series of GSI investments and make recommendations for how local actors should proceed.
