Green Infrastructure for Clean Water: Trees, Roots, and Their Role in Stormwater Management

Trees, from their roots deep within the earth to their leaves high in the sky, provide more than just shade. They also provide economic, social, and environmental benefits to our communities. The 2011 Clean Water Summit will focus on trees and the role they play in protecting and achieving clean water.

Featured presentations will address the technical aspects as well as policy and planning issues related to using trees in stormwater management, including current treatment practices, operations and maintenance concerns, assessment tools and methodologies, and the multiple community benefits trees provide.
