Kansas City, Missouri, has produced an excellent introduction to green infrastructure using a story map. Story maps use geospatial data with photos, video, graphics and text to visualize a theme or events. They can be easily shared with the public and local government leaders and are an effective educational tool.
This link will take you to the story map Green Stormwater Infrastructure - The City of Kansas City, Missouri.
Its graphical representation provides an excellent overview of combined sewer systems (CSOs) -- Pennsylvania has the unwanted distinction of having the most CSOs in the nation -- separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), and the difference that green infrastructure can make. Although specific to Kansas City, most of the story map's content is relevant to Pennsylvania.
