Our goal is to optimize city surfaces for stormwater capture and aquifer replenishment. To do so, we need to know where, exactly, to prioritize investment in green infrastructure, and with what expected benefits? With the support of the Latrobe Research Prize, we've made big progress, and we're looking for opportunities to test our work (and support yours).
