G. Tracy Mehan III, who graced these pages just a few days ago, is back with an
article written for the January 2015 issue of Water & Wastes Digest, 'Mixing Grey & Green'. He was kind enough to send me a PDF.

A little blurb to whet your appetite:
The move toward green infrastructure (GI) and low-impact development (LID) as complements to traditional grey infrastructure, justifies more fully integrating them into utility planning by means of another cutting-edge technique: asset management of water,
wastewater and storm water infrastructure as practiced in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, and, increasingly, in the U.S. It offers the chance to address urban wet weather and other water quality issues in both utility service areas and their headwaters in a systematic, cost-effective and environmentally optimal manner.
Good stuff - enjoy!
If you have thoughts or comments, please leave them. I will see that Tracy receives them.
