With the infrastructure to manage stormwater threats in cities
becoming increasingly expensive to build or repair, planners and
landscapers need to look at alternative approaches. Ground-level
mitigation measures such as raingardens, bioswales and rain water
harvesting are becoming increasingly relevant, but very little work
has been done to assess the potential benefits of green roofs as
part of a holistic urban water management system for larger urban
areas. This book demonstrates the tools to measure and evaluate the
effectiveness of green roofs for cities in different climates to
manage urban runoff. Planned and implemented properly, a green roof
strategy can reduce pressure on ageing infrastructure, protect
streams and lakes, and ultimately save the huge costs associated
with stormwater control.
