Heavy rains overwhelm the water systems in many Great Lakes communities. Basements back up, streets flood, and polluted water cascades into the nearest lake or stream.
Green stormwater infrastructure is part of the solution. It absorbs, slows down, and filters rainwater before the water reaches stormwater pipes or waterways.
Visit our campaign page to learn how green stormwater infrastructure makes a difference. Learn more about green stormwater infrastructure below.
