The relationship between stormwater harvesting and green infrastructure is symbiotic. Green infrastructure, incorporating elements like permeable surfaces, vegetated swales, and rain gardens, facilitates the absorption of rainwater into the ground. Stormwater harvesting complements this by capturing and utilizing excess runoff for various purposes.
Together, they mitigate flooding risks, reduce the strain on conventional water sources, and enhance overall environmental sustainability. The integration of both practices contributes to water-sensitive urban design, creating resilient and eco-friendly urban environments that balance the demands of development with the preservation of natural ecosystems.
