Watershed Management Group
Description
"A wonderful small book published in Arizona answers that question. 'Green Infrastructure for Southwestern Neighborhoods' edited by Lisa Shipek and Catlow Shipek,explains the why, what, how and who of green infrastructure - retrofittable everywhere
For the founders of the Watershed Management Group [WMG] green infrastructure (GI) refers to 'constructed features that use living, natural systems to provide environmental services, such as capturing, cleaning and infiltrating stormwater; creating wildlife habitat; shading and cooling streets and buildings; and calming traffic'.
The WMG manual is aimed community and neighborhood leaders - and for good reason: they are the ones who will mobilise the human resources to get this kind GI built. " (http://www.doorsofperception.com/archives/2011/05/infra.php)
