May 17 2023 - 12:00pm

In this WRRC seminar, Adriana Zuniga will describe a brief history of water management in Tucson and how this desert city became a leader in green infrastructure in the country. Blue Baldwin will then present an overview of the modern evolution of green stormwater infrastructure in Tucson over the past decades, from grassroots, "pre-legal" actions to current policy and ultimate institutionalization with the advent of the Storm to Shade Program at Tucson Water. The Storm to Shade program's goals, project prioritization framework, maintenance program, key partnerships, challenges, and long-term vision for the S2S will be covered.
