Description
The UNO Rainworks Team proposed a green infrastructure design to the EPAs Campus Rainworks Challenge as both a functional improvement to the campus and its community as well as an educational opportunity for a unique region lacking adequate, locally relevant, quantifiable data to encourage best management practices (BMPs). Our proposed demonstration site will measure the effectiveness of BMP construction practices to effectively improve environmental quality, helping to create a model for urban infill projects in other deltaic regionsfilling an important under-researched niche.
