The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) has developed a Green Values stormwater calculator that estimates savings from conventional versus green development for several scenarios. Choosing development scenarios (or exact site specifications) and green infrastructure techniques such as replacing half a lawn with gardens with native landscaping or downspout disconnection will generate both hydrologic and cost differences between the conventional system and the green system(s) selected. http://greenvalues.cnt.org/calculator

Tualatin RiverkeepersTualatin Riverkeepers (TRK) is a community-based organization that empowers people to protect and restore Oregon's Tualatin River system. TRK builds watershed stewardship through education, access to nature, restoration, and advocacy. Backed by hundreds of dedicated volunteers, TRK is able to lead dozens of educational canoe trips, impact water policy regulations, monitor problems throughout the watershed, facilitate habitat restoration activities, conduct educational programs for youth, and provide support to many Friends groups working for stream and watershed protection. We believe that a healthy river system is vital to building and sustaining a healthy community. Please join us. |
