Understanding Variability in Green Stormwater Infrastructure Performance Under Real-World Conditions in Boston

Surveying green stormwater systems to understand patterns in performance across seasons, sites, and maintenance conditions.

Green stormwater infrastructure, including rain gardens, bioretention systems, and bioswales, can reduce runoff, improve water quality, and support climate-resilient cities. In practice, performance can vary across seasons, sites, and maintenance conditions.

This Boston-focused project surveys green stormwater systems to document their conditions and understand observed performance patterns. The survey will provide baseline information for future study and help identify questions for more detailed investigation.
