With the first edition of the Kansas City Green Stormwater Infrastructure Manual published in 2018, KC Water established itself as a regional resource and expert in stormwater management solutions — providing guidance for technology standards and best practices for green professionals. With this manual came an opportunity to repackage that expertise into an educational tool for everyday ratepayers.

KC Water has created a resource for residents, enthusiasts, and educators to explore and discover green infrastructure: The Green Stormwater Infrastructure StoryMap. This tool takes readers through the basics of green solutions — from the way stormwater moves through Kansas City’s sewer systems to how green infrastructure manages stormwater while enriching neighborhoods.

Through the StoryMap, you can learn more about this innovative technology that manages stormwater the way nature intended … right where it falls.
