Climate stressors and adaptation strategies using green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) systems in urban areas: Improving design and functionality by Ebru Özer, Berrin Tansel

“…Our findings indicate that: (1) climate is an important factor in the design and implementation of GSI practices, and therefore, climate-specific factors need to be considered when designing effective GSI systems; (2) the implementation of climate-appropriate GSI practices can reduce climate-related stresses in communities; (3) utilizing combinations of different GSI systems improves their ability to function effectively across a wide range of climate conditions (i.e., climate events ranging from droughts to flooding); and (4) effective GSI practices can provide multiple benefits to communities (i.e., improved climate resiliency and adaptation to climate change, effective water and stormwater management practices).…”
