This program provides information around urban ecological issues including stormwater management, green infrastructure, stream restoration, and urban water conservation. The website contains basic information on green infrastructure management. The page also links to publications from the program but also is used as the main hub for announcements from on-going projects. The websites host as subpages, websites required by project sponsors: these include a TCEQ funded project (Rowlett Creek Watershed characterization project) where announcement of stakeholder meetings, recording and minutes of minutes are posted. It also links to report produced by the project. The website also hosts an EPA project website entitled “Incorporating GI/LID and Nature Based Systems into the Denton County Hazard Mitigation Plan” where a GIS tool for flood risk prioritization is located for use by the public. The site also hosts the final report of the EPA project for public access.
