The aim of this Guide is to raise awareness of the benefits of Green Infrastructure (GI) solutions for water resources management. It takes a pragmatic approach to water management, and shows that GI can provide significant water management benefits and co-benefits, and also can support benefits from existing grey water infrastructure through a mutually complimentary mix of green and grey solutions. In addition to providing an overview of GI solutions for water management, this guide includes an outline methodology for water management options assessment, as well as a risk and uncertainty analysis. The guide concludes with a brief overview of practical tools to support the evaluation of appropriate solutions.
The Green Infrastructure Guide was launched at World Water Week in Stockholm, and is a product of collective effort by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), UNEP-DHI Partnership - Centre on Water and Environment, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the World Resources Institute (WRI).
