Blue Infrastructure is the “use of small footprint high-efficiency devices installed and retrofitted within existing collection systems.” In other words, it is the middle ground between green and grey infrastructure.

Charactersitics

  • Heavier dependence on human-made structures

         Usually smaller than grey infrastructure and is             integrated into already existing infrastructure.

  • Harder surfaces

  • Sometimes absorbs, sometimes stores, sometimes diverts water

  • Depreciates in value

  • Brought to full scale at a faster rate

  • Lower maintenance

  • More environmentally sustainable than grey, less sustainable than green

  • Has only one main benefit, which is the reduction of CSOs

The people behind this work are stemming from Dr. Foxes Environmental Science Class. We have been extensively learning about NYC water and how to preserve it's quality since September and have done many trips and projects to learn and spread awareness about our findings.
