TEDx Shorts podcast featuring SCCWRP engineer makes case for green infrastructure

SCCWRP’s Dr. Elizabeth Fassman-Beck is featured in a newly released TEDx Shorts podcast discussing why runoff should be managed with green infrastructure instead of traditional flood control infrastructure.

The nine-minute podcast, titled “The Potential of Green Infrastructure” and released in November, discusses in plain language how aging stormwater infrastructure threatens access to clean water.

Fassman-Beck explains how advances in engineering have enabled stormwater managers to design infrastructure solutions that more closely mimic natural runoff patterns, and more effectively mitigate pollution from runoff.
