Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Newsroom:<\/a> <\/em>During large rainstorms, many Illinois residents brace themselves for flooding in their basements, streets and neighborhoods. A new online tool,\u00a0Illinois Groundwork<\/a>, provides communities and stormwater professionals with resources on green stormwater infrastructure, which provides a way for rain to be absorbed into soil where it lands.<\/p>\n

Green stormwater infrastructure offers a way to enhance traditional or \u201cgrey\u201d infrastructure using a rain garden or permeable pavement but this approach doesn\u2019t always work as well as it might. Improving access to, and use of, data, research and other\u00a0resources can help increase the effectiveness of green infrastructure in addressing stormwater management challenges.\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe University of Illinois not only has relevant research and data across many departments, but also real-world examples of successful green infrastructure, along with other extension and education tools, such as the\u00a0Red Oak Rain Garden<\/a>,\u201d said\u00a0C. Eliana<\/a>\u00a0Brown<\/a>, University of Illinois Extension stormwater specialist. \u201cThis new tool brings these resources together, providing a robust platform to access green infrastructure knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n
