The EPA Office of Water's Green Infrastructure website communicates the “what, why, and how” of green infrastructure to municipalities, developers, and the general public.  Green infrastructure uses vegetation, soils and natural processes to manage water and create healthier urban environments.  The website is a one-stop shop for resources on green infrastructure that features improved navigability and up-to-date content. 

The site offers a wealth of publications and tools developed by EPA, state and local governments, the private sector, nonprofit organizations, and academic institutions.  The website emphasizes the multiple environmental, social, and economic benefits associated with green infrastructure.  The site also provides access to the latest research developed by EPA’s Office of Research and Development.
