Stormwater Green Infrastructures are typically built for multipurposes: stormwater treatment and green space. Established vegetation is used to achieve the designed functions. However, plants often fail before established. The main reason is that plants undergo constant stresses? They’re either too wet or too dry. Extreme variations in soil moisture make it hard for plants to survive. The ideal solution is to use the abundant stormwater to stabilize the soil moisture. TreeDiaper, a multifunctional plant protection system, can help to achieve this with rainwater harvesting, super-slow release watering, weed control, extreme weather protection, erosion and runoff reduction, and more.

Learning Objectives:

1. Examine the benefits of using Green Infrastructure for stormwater management.

2. Study the main challenges encountered in Green Infrastructure.

3. Discuss the methods and technologies that can help solve the problems with case studies.
