The Green Infrastructure Implementation Strategy is Denver’s roadmap for building green infrastructure equitably and effectively. The Strategy delineates the city into 31 water quality basins, and scores them based on stormwater quality impairment and the need for the other community benefits that green infrastructure provides. Factors like impervious cover, water quality data, land use, park density, and population demographics are included in the scoring. The Strategy highlights the 11 basins with the highest scores and provides a list of project opportunities for each one of these “High Priority Basins.” The project list includes large-scale and site-scale green infrastructure practices and documents the cost and benefits of each opportunity.
