Atlanta adopts green infrastructure action plan

The Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (DWM) announced recently that the Atlanta City Council signed a resolution approving the citywide Green Infrastructure Strategic Action Plan. Like many cities around the nation, the City of Atlanta has struggled to manage stormwater runoff that leads to flooding, degraded water quality and property damage. In response, DWM developed the Action Plan to incorporate environmentally sound engineering best practices into stormwater management planning.
