Project description:
With climate change upon us, how do we mitigate against the threat of floods? Flooding can cause economic and structural damage that takes years to recover from. Green Infrastructure (GI) elements like rain barrels and green roofs can reduce this damage significantly. This project is working to upgrade GI on Lehigh’s campus, ultimately becoming a model for GI upgrades city- and nation-wide.
