Description
This workshop will provide both a general overview and specific, useful examples of green practices for water quality management.

The majority of time will be spent on the planning phase, including a group exercise using a sofware tool to be provided to participants. The primary audience will be stormwater professionals that want to implement green infrastructure practices. They will get guidance on how to approach green practice, tools to use with hands-on instruction and examples of lessons learned by others.
