GIWiz EPA's online tool promotes green infrastructure

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created a new tool - the Green Infrastructure Wizard (GIWiz) - to help public officials and communities clean waterways. The Web-based tool provides information about the basics of green infrastructure, options for paying for green infrastructure, and examples of how communities are using green infrastructure to revitalize neighborhoods and enhance land use. It also offers tools to help visualize and design rain gardens, permeable pavement installations, and other types of green infrastructure as well as tools to develop public education and outreach campaigns focused on green infrastructure, according to an EPA news release.
