What is Green Roof Stormwater Retention? (Ep. 1)

What is green roof stormwater Retention? (Episode 1) Retention deals with the water that never becomes runoff. Evapotranspiration drives green roof retention. You can never increase the retention capacity of a vegetated roof unless you also increase evapotranspiration. These videos are for everyone and do not require background knowledge in engineering or hydrology. We made this green roof stormwater video series with the hope that more people get access to this knowledge and understand the great potential of green roofs, not only as tools to increase urban biodiversity, cool our cities, capture pollution, & increase roof membrane life spans, but also as fully-fledged stormwater tools that generate a clear ROI in urban areas.
