Green infrastructure collects and manages stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces, such as streets and sidewalks. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is building Right-of-way Bioswales, Stormwater Greenstreets, and other stormwater management practices to reduce combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges into New York City's waterbodies. Green infrastructure is a more cost-effective way to improve water quality in New York City, and will save New Yorkers billions of dollars. Green infrastructure also helps create a more sustainable city. Benefits of green infrastructure include neighborhood beautification, improved air quality, and reduced air temperature during hot weather.
