As cities continue to expand, the issues of flood control and urban water quality have become major modern sustainability challenges. Green infrastructure-the use of nature-based solutions to target, treat, and store stormwater at its source-has emerged as a possible solution. While green infrastructure does offer multiple benefits for urban users, its performance is also highly variable. This Article addresses a key gap in existing literature by explicitly addressing how uncertainty in environmental and anthropogenic factors affects green infrastructure performance and integration within the Clean Water Act's municipal separate storm sewer (MS4) regulatory program.
