The U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development, National Center for Environmental Research is pleased to invite you to attend... Performance and Effectiveness of Green Infrastructure Stormwater Management Approaches in the Urban Context: A Philadelphia Case Study Progress Review Meeting May 9, 2017 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. EDT The presentation will be livestreamed as a webinar via Adobe Connect. Meeting Information The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, funded five grants to support investigating the performance and effectiveness of green infrastructure (GI) practices at the urban watershed level to address the complexities of urban communities and to contribute to a more holistic understanding of the potential of GI in the urban water cycle. For these grants, the city of Philadelphia, specifically its 40,500-acre Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) area, is the geographic study area. At this meeting, the grant recipients are presenting their research. Their presentations will address how, collectively, the portfolio of research has addressed each of the five research areas identified in the 2012 RFA, Performance and Effectiveness of Green infrastructure Stormwater Management Approaches in the Urban Context: A Philadelphia Case Study. U.S. EPA Safe and Sustainable Water Research These STAR grants and funded research are supported by the EPA's Safe and Sustainable Water Research Program, (SSWR). SSWR research program efforts are done in partnership with other EPA programs, federal and state agencies, academia, nongovernmental agencies, public and private stakeholders, and the global scientific community. Through an integrated science and engineering approach, the SSWR research program is developing cost-effective, sustainable solutions to these 21st century complex water issues and proactively addressing emerging concerns.
