Interesting Facts
• New Jersey is 8,723 square miles • Population is 8,864,590 (1,170.64/mi2)* • 1,055 square miles of impervious cover =
12.1%
• One inch of rain = 18.2 billion gallons • 90% of NJ’s rivers are impaired
* CT population density is 722.65/mi

Green Infrastructure is ... …an approach to stormwater management that is cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
Green Infrastructure projects: • capture, • filter, • absorb, and • reuse
stormwater to restore the natural water cycle.
-
Addressing Impervious Cover Can we eliminate it?
Can we reuse it?
Can we change it?
Can we disconnect it?
-
Programs
